Salman gets humiliated at Hyderabad airport

At a recently held event, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was totally ignored and then walked out upset.

Salman was invited as a special guest to inaugurate Hyderabad’s new international airport, which was to be hosted by fellow actress Dia Mirza. Salman arrived at 3 pm; however, many other dignitaries arrived much later. Such as Sonia Gandhi (the airport is named after the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi), Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajsheker Reddy and G N Rao of GMR construction. Says an eyewitness, “Most of the politicians, including Soniaji, came in around 4.30 pm. while Salman waited patiently for them. He was asked to sit in the sixth row in the audience.”

The source adds, “One expected that after the arrival of the dignitaries, Salman would be invited on stage but nothing of that sort happened. Salman continued to sit in the sixth row amongst the common people and not even once was he called on stage. Not only that, his name was not even mentioned by anybody on stage. Dia could not take his name because she had a bound script. No politician interacted with him even backstage.”

“It was simply ridiculous. If you call such a big personality like Salman and don’t even acknowledge his presence, then why call him at all? This is not done. It was simply ridiculous,” the source adds.

The good person that Salman is, he sat through the event quietly, looking amused. The actor did not make a fuss and then at 6pm got up and left the event.
