She accused Kashyap of "ladkibaazi" (exploiting or misbehaving with women) on the set of Dabangg, claiming that Salman Khan was upset with Kashyap because of his alleged inappropriate behavior toward women and that Kashyap was also mismanaging production funds[2][8]. - **Questioning Kashyap's Motives:** Sawant questioned why Kashyap, who she claims was given a major opportunity by Salman Khan, would later criticize him publicly, and suggested that Kashyap's allegations were baseless and driven by ulterior motives[8]. - **Refusal to Name Directly:** Although she was vocal about her disapproval, Rakhi also stated she would not "dirty her tongue" by taking Kashyap's name directly, though the context clearly referred to him[8]. ## Context of the Controversy - **Dabangg Dispute:** Abhinav Kashyap, who directed the first Dabangg film with Salman Khan, has previously accused Khan and his family of interference and bullying, though Kashyap's allegations are contested by Khan's supporters[4]. - **Industry Reactions:** Salman Khan himself has publicly responded, dismissing Kashyap's claims and questioning his professional standing in the industry[6]. - **Political Undertones:** The controversy has sparked debates about power dynamics and transparency in Bollywood, as both sides present conflicting narratives[4][6]. ## Summary Table | Person | Allegations/Statements | Context/Reactions | |-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------| | Rakhi Sawant | Defends Salman Khan, accuses Abhinav Kashyap of "ladkibaazi" (misbehavior) and fund mismanagement[2][8] | Claims Salman is a victim, slams Kashyap harshly[2][8] | | Abhinav Kashyap | Accuses Salman Khan of bullying, interference, and personal attacks[4] | Industry and public reactions mixed[4][6] | | Salman Khan | Dismisses Kashyap's claims, questions his motives and career[6] | Publicly addresses controversy on Bigg Boss[6] | ## Conclusion Rakhi Sawant has come out as a vocal supporter of Salman Khan in the face of Abhinav Kashyap's allegations, accusing Kashyap of misconduct on the Dabangg set and mismanagement, while defending Khan's character and professionalism[2][8].
