Salman Khan To File A Defamation Case Over Kunal Kamra's 'Derogatory' Joke?

The friend said, "If he (Salman Khan) sued everyone who abused him, he would be in and out of courtrooms. Over the years, Salman has come to terms with his controversial attackable image. He knows mentioning his name, especially in a derogatory context, gets attention. So no, he isn't suing this guy (Kunal Kamra)," adding, ¡°His father, Salim Khan, counsels him (Salman) to ignore insults. Salim saab tells Salman they are just a way of grabbing attention.¡±

Recently, Kunal made fun of Salman during one of his latest performances on X in a video that was uploaded by film critic Kamaal R Khan, also known as KRK. Kunal then tweeted, ¡°I am not a flying bird or a stationary footpath and I don¡¯t apologies for jokes anymore¡­¡±
