What I hate the most is when people choose to be silent over issues of mass violence in there own country , and celebrities still sit silent untill all this arrives at there own doorsteps. @BeingSalmanKhan @iamsrk @SrBachchan

He will never speak on this issue. He has to do bollywood movies and he want to make sure he and his family life must be save. Otherwise extrimist hindus will destroy his career and will ask him to leave India with label of traitor.
