Controversies
Humiliation by Salman Khan’s Security
In June 2023, actress Hema Sharma gave an interview in which she shared the incident from the sets of Dabangg 3 which was shot in 2019. She was a great fan of actor Salman Khan and was very happy to know that she might share the screen with the actor in the film. However, due to last moment changes, the scene was shot with Salman Khan alone. She was unhappy with the changes and approached several people to help her to meet Salman Khan once and help to click a picture with him. Later, she met Pandit Janardhan who promised to fulfil her wish. Pandit Janardhan has also appeared in several seasons of the Indian reality show Bigg Boss as a celebrity astrologer and face reader. Both Hema and Pandit Janardhan made an attempt to meet Salman Khan, but according to her, she was humiliated and treated badly by the security of the actor. Not only this but the security officers forcefully removed her and Pandit Janardhan. They even threatened to ban the entry of Pandit Janardhan. Hema Sharma was treated so badly that according to her, she was thrown out like a dog in front of a unit of around 100 people. The unit included several individuals who were known to Hema which intensified the humiliation. Though Salman Khan was not present at the incident, he was in the vicinity. As per Hema, Salman Khan could have intervened and handled the situation well, but he didn’t bother to come in between. This made Hema more furious and she promised herself not to meet Salman Khan ever in life. This incident left Hema in pain, and she couldn’t sleep for almost 10 days.
