Katrina falls in trouble as she laughs

Entertainment Desk: After Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty, Katrina Kaif has also come under fire for laughing at the ‘casteist’ joke cracked by her Tiger Zinda Hai co-star Salman at a promotional event for the film, reported Hindustan Times.

A petition has been filed in a Delhi court seeking an FIR to be lodged against the actors and others for the casteist remark against Schedule Castes. The court has listed the matter for consideration for February 27, 2018.

In December, an FIR was filed against superstar Salman at Andheri Police station for allegedly using the word bhangi on a public platform that hurt the sentiments of the Scheduled Caste community. An FIR was also filed against actor Shilpa Shetty.

Vice President of Rojgar Aghari Republican Party of India, Kishore Masoom stated, “We highly condemn Salman and Shilpa for using such words that show us in bad light. We have filed a complaint and will hold a protest in front of Salman’s house. According to the law, he has to serve five years imprisonment.”

Asked if he thought Salman Khan who has a huge fan following would get bail easily, Masoom said, “No one is above the law. And talking of his fans, only the elite people did not make him ‘Salman Khan the Star’, people like us watch his films too. Who will support a man who is so disrespectful towards his fans? We are hurt.”
