The outspoken actress and entertainer has lashed out at filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, who recently made a series of explosive allegations against the Bollywood superstar and his family.

Speaking to one of the media houses, Rakhi said, “Wherever I find you, bald guy, I’ll hit you with a slipper. Someone hired him as the director of Dabangg, I don’t even know who he is, and I won’t waste my time taking his name.” In her fiery defense of Salman, Rakhi declared that the actor is a god on earth and has always respected women and his co-stars. Bhai doesn’t like kissing or romantic scenes. He’s a god on earth while he’s alive. He always respects women,” she said.

She went on to accuse Abhinav Kashyap of misbehaving with women on the sets of Dabangg, claiming that his unprofessional conduct led to his removal from the project. Rakhi further alleged that Abhinav was doing it all for money and suggested that he might be influenced by outside forces who want to tarnish Salman’s image. “He started flirting with women and misusing Salman’s resources. People are paying him to defame my brother. I would even get my neck cut for Salman, he has always helped struggling artists,” she added.

For those unaware, filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, brother of director Anurag Kashyap, has been vocal about his disputes with the Khan family. In a recent interview, Abhinav called Salman Khan “insecure” and claimed the superstar reduced Arbaaz Khan’s role in Dabangg. He also alleged that Salman and Arbaaz had a heated argument on set, during which Salman threw utensils in anger. Abhinav further accused the actor of kidnapping the film’s editor and taking him to his farmhouse to control the film’s final cut.
