Salman disagrees with Hashmi over flat issue
Press Trust of India, Friday July 31, 2009, Mumbai

Filmstar Salman Khan on Friday said he did not agree with fellow actor Emraan Hashmi's charge that he was denied an NOC to purchase a flat in the posh Bandra locality because he was a Muslim.

"If religious profiling indeed happened, Emraan Hashmi would not have been what he is today. Similarly, Salman, Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan would not be what they are today," Salman told reporters on the sidelines of a function in Mumbai.

He said such incidents could take place because of individual personality and not because the individual belongs to a particular religion.

However, Salman felt such discrimination on religious grounds could exist in some places.

"I would appeal to the Nibbana Housing society in Bandra to provide the required NOC to Emraan," he said.

Well Said Salman! Hasmi has to look for free propaganda to stay on the screen. He learnt the lesson from Rakhi Sawant. There has been no film of him lately. In India, one can always play the minority card and get away.

Nobody wants a loose character like Hashmi. But then that is his acting image. People in that society should look at Mr. Hashmi as a man. I am sure in Cosmopolitan city like Mumbai, nobody is assessed by its religion. I am sure the members of the society found something undesirable and don't want that guy. Mr. Hashmi should look for another residence where he is welcome and not blame religion.
