After the ban on India’s Got Latent, Rakhi Sawant and Samay Raina recently reunited for a podcast where the actress made some explosive revelations about her personal life and Bollywood.

On the podcast, Rakhi Sawant defended Salman Khan against the allegations made by Abhinav Kashyap and even warned the director.

She said, “Bhai (Salman) ko na kissing pasand hai, na kissing scene pasand hai. Jeete ji dharti pe devta hai wo (Salman Khan doesn’t like kisses or kissing scene. He is a livind embodiment of god on earth).”

Rakhi then went on to say, “Jis din mujhe wo takla mil gaya na, chappal se maarungi use. Isne ladkibaazi shuru kar di thi, to bhai bardaasht nahi karte ye sab. Wo bhai ka paisa barbaad kar raha tha (The say I find that baldie, I am going to hit him with slippers. He had started exploiting girls and Bhai doesn’t like it. Abhinav was even wasting Salman’s money.)”

The long-standing feud between Salman Khan and Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap has reignited after Abhinav made fresh comments accusing Salman of sabotaging his career.

In a recent interview, Abhinav claimed that working with Salman and his family drained him creatively, adding that the actor was “controlling” and interfered excessively during Dabangg’s production. He further alleged that the Khan family’s influence in Bollywood made it difficult for him to get work afterward. These statements quickly went viral, sparking heated debates online.

Salman Khan, who rarely addresses controversies, subtly responded to the remarks on Bigg Boss 19. Without naming Abhinav, he said that some people “use others’ names to stay relevant” and emphasised that “karma speaks louder than words.” The exchange reignited public curiosity about their fallout, painting a picture of unresolved tension between a megastar and a filmmaker who once delivered one of his biggest blockbusters.
