Salman Khan recently made headlines during his appearance at the distinguished Joy Forum 2025 in Saudi Arabia, where he shared the stage with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan.

Salman Khan separates ‘Balochistan’ from ‘Pakistan’ at Joy Forum 2025; sparks debate online
While much of the chat focused on the evolution of Indian cinema and its growing international reach, one particular comment from Salman Khan sparked widespread discussion online. During his interaction, the actor spoke in regards to the rising popularity of Indian movies in Saudi Arabia and the varied communities contributing to the country’s booming entertainment audience.
Salman said, “Without delay, in the event you make a Hindi film and release it here (in Saudi Arabia), it would be a superhit. When you make a Tamil, Telugu, or Malayali film, it would do a whole bunch of crores in business because so many individuals from other countries have come here. There are people from Balochistan, there are people from Afghanistan, there are people from Pakistan… everyone seems to be working here.”
Soon after the clip surfaced online, social media was abuzz with reactions. Many users questioned whether Salman’s mention of Balochistan was a geographical slip or a deliberate remark. Some netizens identified that Balochistan is a region, not a separate country, resulting in debates over the actor’s geopolitical awareness. Others, nevertheless, defended Salman, suggesting his comment was likely taken out of context and was simply meant to acknowledge the multicultural workforce in Saudi Arabia.
