Former Bigg Boss contestant Tehseen Poonawalla has hit again at trolls who’ve been criticising Salman Khan after the Battle of Galwan teaser was launched on his birthday.

A bit of social media customers started trolling Salman over a quick second the place he was seen smiling barely.

They felt the smile didn’t match the intense nature of a warfare movie, primarily based on actual occasions and the sacrifices of troopers.

Amid all of the criticism, Poonawalla stepped in to defend the actor.

Taking to his X account, Poonawalla mentioned the trolls have been ‘lacking the purpose’.

‘These trolling Salman for that slight smile within the #BattleOfGalwan teaser are lacking the purpose. That is not informal — it is composure. It is calm aggression. It is the look of a soldier who understands what he is strolling into and refuses to panic when the enemy is true in entrance of him,’ Poonawalla posted.

‘When a soldier steps onto the battlefield, there are solely two outcomes: He both wins and protects his nation, or he sacrifices himself for it. For a soldier… each are victory. And the teaser makes that mindset clear with these strains: ‘Jawaano yaad rahe, zakham lage toh medal samajhna aur maut dikhe toh salaam karna… Aaj nahi toh phir kabhi. Maut se kya darna, usse toh aana hello hai.’

‘That smile is not weak point. It is acceptance. It is braveness. If the movie retains this tone, there’s critical potential right here. #BattleOfGalwan #SalmanKhan.’

The movie is predicated on the Galwan Valley conflict between India and China on June 15-16, 2020, the place 20 Indian troopers misplaced their lives.

Following the clashes, tensions between India and China rose, with the military deploying formations close to the Galwan Valley, alongside the Line of Precise Management in Ladakh, and enterprise actions akin to surveying border areas to forestall ‘doable’ Chinese language aggression.
