Bollywood director Abhinav Singh Kashyap made serious allegations against Salman Khan and family stating they have sabotaged his career. The comments come in the wake of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput death where many called out Bollywood hypocricy for groupism and nepotism. The director added how continuous gaslighting and bullying not only destroyed his career but affected his mental health resulting in divorce.
In a lengthy Facebook post he wrote, “The reason I moved out of making Dabangg 2 ten years ago is because Arbaaz Khan, in collusion with Sohail Khan and family, was trying to take control of my career by bullying me. Arbaaz Khan sabotaged my second project with Shree Ashtavinayak Films that I was signed up with by personally calling their head Mr. Raj Mehta and threatening him with dire consequences if they made a film with me. I had to return the signing money to Shree Ashtavinayak films and moved to Viacom Pictures. They did the same thing.”
“Only this time the sabotager was Sohail Khan and he intimidated the then Viacom CEO Vikram Malhotra. My project was sabotaged and I was made to return my signing fee of Rupees 7 Crores plus interest of Ninety odd lacs. It’s only then that Reliance Entertainment came to my rescue and we forged an enduring partnership for my film Besharam,” Abhinav Singh Kashyap added.
He continued stating, “All my projects and creative endeavours have been sabotaged and I have been repeatedly threatened with life and rape threats given to/for the female members of my family. The sustained gaslighting and bullying destroyed my mental health and that of my family and led to my divorce and breaking up of my family in 2017.”
He concluded his post stating that he would never give-up but will fight. he added, “I refuse to cow down and will fight on till I see the end of either them or me. Enough tolerance. It’s time to fight back.”
