Mumbai: Salman Khan recently sparked concern among fans after sharing a cryptic post about being “alone and lonely,” with many assuming that the post hinted at his personal life.
Addressing the online chatter among fans, Salman clarified that the post was misunderstood, as it was not a reflection of his own emotional state.
On Tuesday, the actor took to Instagram and explained, “Arre yaar Mai apne bare mai nahi baat kar raha tha (I wasn’t talking about myself). How can I be alone when I have such a large amazing family and friends and how can I be lonely when I have u guys, your wishes n Duas, I would be the biggest na shukra ever.”
He further shared that the post created such a buzz online that even his mother, Salma Khan, grew worried and asked him what had happened.
“Kabhi Kabhi logon ke saath reh kar pak jaata hun, isliye some me time, Buss…Iss baar koi photo nahi breaking news bana diya, Mummy pooch rahi hai, Kya hua Beta? Chill maro yaar (Sometimes I get tired of being around people, so I just need some me time, that’s all. This time, no photo came out, yet it became breaking news. My mother is asking me, ‘What happened, son?’ Relax, guys),” Salman said.
For the unversed, Salman shared a shirtless photo of himself, flaunting his abs on Instagram on May 17.
Along with the picture, the actor wrote, “By I me myself, 2 ways to be by yourself, Alone and Lonely, Alone is by choice n lonely when nobody wants to be with u….. Ab iske aage, you Figure out what you need to do.”
While several fans admired his physique and fitness, a section of social media users expressed concern after noticing the emotional caption accompanying the post.
