Salman Khan Attends ISPL Match in Surat
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made a special appearance at the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) match in Surat on Friday evening. He attended the high-voltage game between Bengaluru Strikers and Delhi Superheros and spoke to the media about his upcoming war film, Battle of Galwan.
The actor also addressed trolling he received over a “romantic” look in the film’s teaser.
The Teaser That Sparked Trolls
Last month, a one-minute teaser for Battle of Galwan was released, showing Salman rallying his troops in the face of enemy soldiers. Armed with just a stick, the teaser captures intense moments where Salman glances at both his enemies and his own soldiers.
Some viewers on social media described one particular look in the teaser as “romantic,” leading to a wave of trolling.
Salman Explains the Controversial Look
When asked to recreate the scene at the ISPL event, Salman clarified the misunderstanding:
“Ab kisi ko ye samajh mein ata hai ki ye romantic look hai, lekin Colonel hu bhayya. To ye, Colonel ka look hai jo samajhta hai ki apne team walon ko, apne jawano ko kaisa hosla de. Vaise hi look main inko bhi de sakta hoon (growls) uss look ka koi matlab hai nahi. Us look ka koi matlab nahi,” he said.
In simpler terms, Salman emphasized that it wasn’t a romantic glance—it was the look of a commanding officer motivating his team and soldiers under extreme circumstances.
