Arbaaz Khan calls out reporter for dragging Salman Khan during Kaal Trighori trailer launch
At the recent trailer launch event of his film Kaal Trighori, actor-producer Arbaaz Khan exhibited clear frustration towards a reporter who persistently asked questions about his superstar brother, Salman Khan, instead of focusing on the film.
During the session, when a reporter continually brought up Salman Khan’s name instead of inquiring about Kaal Trighori, Arbaaz called out the reporter. He said pointedly in Hindi, “Ye sawaal bina wo naam ka bhi aa sakta tha,” meaning that the question could have been asked without mentioning Salman’s name. His remarks reflected his irritation at the constant overshadowing of his own work by his brother’s celebrity.

The incident was captured on camera and widely circulated on social media, sparking discussions about Arbaaz’s demand for recognition for his independent career and projects, without incessant comparisons or references to Salman Khan.
Arbaaz Khan, who is stepping back into the limelight with Kaal Trighori, a film that marks his return as a lead actor and producer, seeks to carve out his own identity in Bollywood beyond being known primarily as Salman Khan’s sibling. His response at the trailer launch clearly communicated his desire for respect and focus on his craft.
