Everybody was speculating about his health when it comes to Salman Khan, but nobody doubted him after he responded in a light-hearted fashion on Instagram.
The Bollywood superstar posted a photo gallery of a few black and white images of him wearing a dark casual dress and cowboy-style hat. The images came as a delight to fans but the caption did the rest.
“Aap logon ki tabiyat kaisi hai?” (How is everyone’s health?), Salman wrote, seemingly turning the focus back on social media users who had been discussing his appearance over the past few days.
The actor’s post was posted soon after he was spotted at the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), Mumbai office. Reports of the event quickly went viral with people remarking on how much leaner and exhausted the 60-year-old looked as compared to normal, as revealed in video and photos of the event.
The images were the subject of some controversy on social media. Many fans commented on this, saying they were concerned and hoping the actor finds health and happiness in his life, others focused on whether or not the actor is physically fit to act and went on to relate his appearance with ageing.
Rather than a formal announcement Salman opted for baring into the discussion with a dose of humor, which left his followers with a very positive impression of the statement.
His post got tons of comments very shortly, with people commenting on how confident and funny he was in his response. Users say the actor had kept the rumors in check without directly disregarding them; some users also complimented his good attitude.
Since then the post has been going viral, pretty much everyone commenting on it has been praising Salman for responding to the public speculations in his style and letting the supporters know to feel at ease during troubling times.
