The much-awaited International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) recently concluded and the Bollywood’s who’s who huddled under one roof for awards, performances, skits, and so much more.
From Salman Khan, Ananya Panday, Shahid Kapoor and Sharvari to Tiger Shroff, Sara Ali Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan – the who’s who of Bollywood rocked IIFA awards 2022.
However, Salman Khan has been making it to the headlines for completely another reason.
Currently, a video from IIFA 2022 has been doing the rounds which featured popular RJ and anchor Siddharth Kannan, who's co-hosting IIFA, approaching Salman Khan, who's standing alongside Nora Fatehi and Divya Khosla Kumar.
When Siddharth proceeds to try and introduce Salman, the latter interrupts him and says, “Hello, namaste, salam alaikum, sat sri akal, kemcho, adab, assalamualaikum, keep quiet. He’s bored us to death. How do you manage to do these things, so much, so, much… Yeh IIFA wale bhi nahi mante, har ek IIFA mai issko leke aate hai (the people at IIFA also bring him back for every award function), it is that... wo lull hai na before the storm that you guys are going to create tomorrow...that...yeh lull period hai isska.”
Meanwhile, the viral video did not go well with the netizens and they brutally trolled Salman for what they felt to have been “rude and arrogant” behaviour toward Siddharth Kannan, and Salman showing “too much attitude” on his part.
One social media user wrote: “He is rude and has an extremely bad attitude,” while another comment read: “Salman has too much attitude. Teasing the emcee, the guy running the show. Rude.”
Well, let's just hope the entire scenario does not escalate, and it was all said in good jest. Besides, Salman and Siddharth have known each other quite well, too, for the latter to take it as a sport.
