Salman Khan was also questioned about his double standards for having a dress code for women in a TV show.

Shweta Tiwari’s daughter Palak Tiwari recently made headlines when she revealed Salman Khan’s dress rules for women on his sets. During the promotions of her debut film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Palak revealed how the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor doesn’t like girls with plunging necklines on the sets. She called him a “traditionalist” who likes to keep women safe around men he doesn’t trust.

Salman Khan was questioned about his double standards in a TV show for having a dress code for women while taking off their shirts in films. Responding to this, the Tere Naam actor said, “I think a woman’s body is very precious, so the more it is covered, I think the better.” Now Kannada actor Chetan Kumar Ahimsa has taken a dig at Salman Khan’s sentence.

Chetan Kumar tweeted, “Salman Khan says, ‘Women’s bodies are precious – the more covered they are, the better.’ The irony. Khan – known for his abuse and questionable treatment of women’s bodies – is morally policing women and their attire. Khan’s opening his mouth further exposes his ignorance/hypocrisy/patriarchy.’
