He said, “A lot of false things are being said about me, and I am facing character assassination. I appeal to the public to focus on the facts rather than indulging in baseless accusations. For the past 20 years, you all have seen me, and my character has always remained consistent. I have never been involved in any fictional narratives about my family or the success of my films. It deeply saddens me to see these baseless claims being made now.”
He further explained about the video which shows him waving at fans despite the stampede that happened in the theatre. He shared, “The police were clearing the area, which made me think they were managing the situation. I got out of the car just a few meters from the theatre because the vehicle wasn’t moving forward. As is common in such situations, I waved my hand, hoping the fans would get a glimpse of me and move on.”
