Mumbai: At the trailer launch event of ‘Kaal Trighori’, actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan lost his cool and snapped at a reporter for repeatedly dragging his brother Salman Khan’s name during interaction with the media.
Annoyed with irrelevant questions about Salman and the Khan family, Arbaaz shut up the reporter and told him to ask questions related to his upcoming film, and not his family.
“Salman Khan, Khan family ka naam dalna zarori hai? Yeh sawal aise bhi puch sakte hain bina unka name use karre (Is it really necessary to bring up Salman Khan or Khan family? This question could have been asked without mentioning his name. You could have just asked about your support for Nitin ji)” Arbaaz told the reporter on Thursday.
“Tereko toh main bahut phele se janta hun… Tereko chain nahi hai jab tak tu ulte sawal nahi puchega… Tu wait karta hai ke sab khatam karein aur mein jakar apna puchun (I’ve known you for a long time… You’re not satisfied until you ask such weird questions! You keep waiting for everyone to finish, so you can come and ask yours),” Arbaaz continued.
When Arbaaz asked the journo to reframe the question, the latter said, “Hum sab Salman ke kisse jaante hain (We all know the stories associated with Salman).”
Shutting him up, Arbaaz asked, “Kya kisse jante ho, kya kisse hain (What stories do you know?)”
When the reporter said that he was talking about Salman’s helpful nature, Arbaaz said, “Toh usko repeat kyun karna… Chodh de na abhi woh.. Yeh movie ke baare mein baat kar… Jab Salman Khan ki movie ke interview ke liye jayega na tab yeh baat karna. (If you already know them, why do you keep asking about them? Leave that and talk about this film. When you go for Salman’s interview, you can ask him all those questions)”.
Emphasising that extending support to others isn’t limited to the Khan family only, Arbaaz said, “Everybody who is part of the film industry supports each other. It is not a unique quality in one actor or one family… There is not a single actor who has made a career over a long period of time and who is not supportive. It is not that this quality is only with the Khan family. Filmmaking is a collaborative process. It is not an individual process, and you need support from everyone.”
Directed by Nitin Vaidya, horror-thriller ‘Kaal Trighori’ also stars Rituparna Sengupta, Aditya Srivastava, Mahesh Manjrekar, Rajesh Sharma and Mugdha Godse in key roles.
The film is slated to hit theatres on November 14.
