Filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap<\/a>, known for directing Dabangg, has once again taken aim at Arbaaz Khan<\/a>, alleging that he was uncomfortable with his then-wife Malaika Arora<\/a> performing in the hit item song Munni Badnaam Hui.<\/p>\n

\"Abhinav Abhinav Kashyap alleges Arbaaz Khan opposed Malaika Arora’s participation in the item song Munni Badnaam Hui during Dabangg’s production. Abhinav says Arbaaz found Munni Badnaam vulgar<\/p>\n

In a recent conversation with Bollywood Thikana<\/a>, Abhinav claimed, \u201cThey were uncomfortable with Malaika\u2019s presentation in the song. They were worried it would look vulgar because it was a raunchy number. But I had assured them, Malaika had already carved her own identity in item songs, much like her stepmother-in-law Helen. I fought to have her in the song, but Arbaaz specifically didn\u2019t want her to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of Dabangg\u2019s production, Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora were still married. The couple, who tied the knot in 1998 and share a son named Arhaan, separated in 2016. Arbaaz has since remarried makeup artist Sshura Khan, and the two recently welcomed their first child. Malaika, meanwhile, went on to date actor Arjun Kapoor for several years before reportedly parting ways earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Abhinav has repeatedly made accusations against Salman Khan<\/a> and his family over the years, reviving his criticism from time to time. Responding to his remarks on a recent episode of Bigg Boss 19, Salman addressed the controversy, saying, \u201cEk Dabangg insaan hai\u2026 sabke bare mein bolta hai. Maine pichle weekend kaha tha, kaam karo yaar, nobody\u2019s interested. Kaam mila kya bhai? Aise harkatein karne ke baad koi aapke saath kaam nahi karega. (There\u2019s one Dabangg man. He has dragged even Aamir into this along with me. Last weekend on Weekend Ka Vaar, I had said, \u2018Just focus on your work, yaar. Nobody\u2019s interested.\u2019 So I want to ask again. Have you got any work, brother? And after behaving like this, they\u2019ll never work with you.)”<\/p>\n

Expressing disappointment, Salman added, \u201cMujhe sirf yeh bura lagta hai ki apne aap ko destroy kar diya. Agar kisike parivar ke peeche padna hai, toh apne parivar ke peeche padho. Maa-baap se pyar karo, biwi-bachchon ka khayal rakho. Tum talented ho, achha likhte ho, ghalat raasta mat lo, wapas highway pe aa jao. (What really makes me sad is that you\u2019ve destroyed yourself. If you want to go after someone\u2019s family, go after your own family. Love your brother, love your parents, take care of your wife and children. You\u2019re talented, you write well. Don\u2019t go down the wrong path, come back to the highway.\u201d<\/p>\n
