Salman Exposed? Silent on Op Sindoor, Loud on Film

Salman Khan has landed in controversy after sharing a glimpse from the shoot of his upcoming film based on the Battle of Galwan. The actor’s post sparked a backlash, with fans accusing him of showing fake nationalism.

Earlier this year, during the Pahalgam attacks and Operation Sindoor, many celebrities voiced support for the Indian Army. Salman, however, remained silent until the operation ended. His delayed response left fans disappointed, who felt he had missed the moment to stand with the nation.

Now, with Salman promoting a patriotic film, the criticism has resurfaced. Fans have pointed out the irony of him avoiding statements when the country expected solidarity, but stepping into a project built around nationalism. A clapboard-hidden look from the sets only added fuel to the debate.

Supporters argue that social media posts are not the only measure of patriotism, but critics insist actors should not exploit national pride merely for box office gains. The controversy shows how public perception can quickly turn when celebrity actions and words do not align.
