Salman Khan finally breaks silence on “not allowing low neckline outfits on his set” statement made by Palak Tiwari; says, “I think aurato ki jo bodies hai…”

During an interview, Salman Khan responded to accusations of having a 'double standard' with regards to female attire on his film sets. He stated that women's bodies are more valuable and therefore should be covered up. He also attributed the issue to men and their tendency to objectify women.

Recently, host Rajat Sharma accused Salman of having a 'double standard' during an interview on India TV's show Aap ki Adalat. To this Salman said, “Jab aap ek decent picture banate ho toh sab jaake dekhte hai poore parivaar ke saath. Koi double standard nahi hai. I think aurato ki jo bodies hai, woh kahi zyada precious hai. Toh woh jitni dhaki huyi hongi mujhe lagta hai ki better hai (When you make a decent picture everyone goes to watch it with their family. There is no double standard. I think women's bodies are more precious. So the more covered they are, the better it will be I feel).”

“Yeh ladkiyon ka chakkar nahi hai yeh ladko ka chakkar hai. Jis hisaab se ladke ladkiyon ko dekhte hai, aapki behene, aapki biwio ko, aapki maao ko. Woh mujhe accha nahi lagta, I don't want them to go through this. (The problem isn't with women but with men. The way men stare at women, your sister, your wife, your mother. I don't like that).”

For the unversed, this started when Palak Tiwari told Siddharth Kannan in a recent interview, “When I was AD-ing with Salman sir on Antim, I don't think many people know this, Salman Sir had a rule ki 'koi bhi ladki mere set pe, neckline should be here (for every girl on my set, the neckline should be here (high up)), all the girls should be covered, like good proper girls’.” Later, she clarified, “It’s really been misunderstood. All I wanted to say is that I have put certain guidelines for myself as to how to dress around people who are way senior to me, who have I pretty much grown up idolising. Salman sir is of course one of them.”

Salman Khan and Palak Tiwari were recently worked together in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan that released on April 21. The film was helmed by Farhad Samji. Apart from Salman Khan and Palak Tiwari, it also featured Venkatesh Daggubati, Pooja Hegde, Jagapathi Babu, Bhumika Chawla, Vijender Singh, Abhimanyu Singh, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, Jassie Gill, Shehnaaz Gill, and Vinali Bhatnagar.
