Mumbai, India — Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has made headlines once again, but this time it’s not for a film or a controversy — it’s for a strong and unexpected statement condemning violence within relationships, particularly women involved in cases of spousal murder.

During a press conference for an upcoming social awareness initiative, Salman did not hold back when asked about recent high-profile cases involving wives accused of killing their husbands across the country.

“Whether it’s a man or a woman — no one has the right to take someone’s life,” Salman said firmly. “We have laws, we have justice. But taking justice into your own hands is something I cannot tolerate.”

What Prompted the Comment?

The actor was asked about his views on growing domestic crimes, especially after a few viral cases made national headlines where wives were allegedly involved in the killing or serious harm of their spouses due to personal or financial disputes.

Salman, known for supporting family values and strong social opinions, was clearly visibly upset while responding.

“Everyone is talking about women’s empowerment, which I fully support. But empowerment doesn’t mean violence,” he added. “It means strength, not revenge.”

Social Media Reacts: Mixed Emotions

As soon as Salman’s remarks went public, social media lit up with mixed reactions:

“He’s not wrong. Violence isn’t the answer — from either side.”

“Salman Khan speaking up against gender-based bias is bold.”

“Why did it take a celebrity to say this when media stays silent?”

Some critics, however, questioned the timing and whether his tone could have been more empathetic, noting that every domestic case has layers and complexities.

Salman Clarifies: “My Fight is Against Violence — Not Women”

Later in the same interview, Salman clarified that he is not targeting women as a group but speaking out against the act of murder, regardless of gender.

“I respect women. I was raised by strong women. But just like we condemn men who commit domestic violence, we must call out women who do the same,” he said.

The Bigger Issue: Domestic Violence in All Forms

Salman’s statement has opened up larger conversations about how society views violence when women are the perpetrators, and whether media and justice systems respond equally.

“If you switch the genders, public outrage is immediate,” said one legal analyst. “But when women are the accused, sometimes it’s dismissed as emotional breakdown — which isn’t always fair.”

Activists now hope the actor’s bold comment will encourage balanced discussions and awareness campaigns around mutual respect, non-violence, and accountability in all relationships.

Conclusion: Salman’s Message — No to Violence, No to Silence

In a world where celebrity voices often influence public opinion, Salman Khan has once again used his platform — not for promotion, but for provocation. A call to recognize violence not by who commits it, but by what it does to families, justice, and society.

“Love is not war. And marriage is not a battleground. If you’re hurting, speak. But don’t destroy,” Salman concluded.
