It was a historic moment for Bollywood fans recently. The three biggest Khans , Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan, all shared the stage at the prestigious Joy Forum 2025 in Saudi Arabia. The rare chat between the three superstars quickly went viral.
While most of the conversation was about Indian cinema and its growing popularity, one particular comment from Salman Khan has started a big debate online. The actor was talking about the diverse audience for Indian films in Saudi Arabia, and his choice of words left fans divided.
What Did Salman Khan Say?
During the chat, Salman spoke about the huge potential for Indian films in Saudi Arabia. He said that any Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, or Malayali film could do hundreds of crores of business there because of the large and diverse audience.
He then listed the communities, saying, “Right now, if you make a Hindi film and release it here (in Saudi Arabia), it will be a superhit… so many people from other countries have come here. There are people from Balochistan, there are people from Afghanistan, there are people from Pakistan… everyone is working here.”
The Online Debate: Slip-Up Or Misunderstood?
Soon after this clip went viral, social media was buzzing. Many users immediately pointed out that Salman Khan mentioned “Balochistan” and “Pakistan” as two separate places, even though Balochistan is a region within Pakistan.
This sparked a heated discussion. Some netizens questioned whether this was a simple geographical “slip-up” from the actor. They debated his geopolitical awareness, with many trolling the comment. However, many other fans came to his defense. They argued that his comment was probably taken out of context. They believe Salman was simply trying to acknowledge the multicultural workforce in Saudi Arabia and wasn’t making a political statement, just listing different regions people come from.
