A resurfaced video of Bollywood megastar Salman Khan has gone viral on social media, showing the actor speaking out in defense of Pakistan amid terrorism-related accusations.
In the clip, originally recorded several years ago but now circulating widely, Khan asserts that Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism, and warns against rushing to assign blame without thorough investigation. He urges people to consider the broader context behind such incidents, stating that the issue is complex and often outside the control of any single nation.

During the video, Salman Khan makes a strong statement on religious teachings, particularly addressing misconceptions about Islam. He clearly states that “Islam does not allow the killing of innocents,” adding that neither the Quran nor any legitimate Islamic teaching supports terrorism.
The video’s resurgence comes at a time of renewed tensions between India and Pakistan, which recently saw escalating military confrontations that eventually led to a ceasefire. Adding to the controversy, Khan had posted a thanksgiving message on Instagram following the ceasefire announcement—though the post was quietly deleted later.
Khan’s comments are being interpreted as a plea for measured and responsible discourse, especially in volatile moments when public sentiment can be inflamed. Social media users have expressed a range of reactions, with some praising the actor’s courage and others accusing him of being “unpatriotic.”
