# Salman Khan Fires Back at Trolls Over His Epic Look in 'Battle of Galwan' Teaser – And China's Outraged Too! **Imagine Bollywood's Bhaijaan channeling the spirit of a real-life hero, only to face trolls mocking his rugged transformation – and now China joining the fray.** Salman Khan's teaser for *Battle of Galwan* has ignited a firestorm, with the superstar clapping back fiercely while Chinese state media cries foul[1][5]. In the teaser, released on his 60th birthday, Salman embodies Colonel Santosh Babu, the brave Indian Army officer who lost his life defending the nation during the 2020 Galwan Valley clash against Chinese troops[1][2]. Sporting a fierce, battle-hardened look complete with a mustache and intense gaze, Salman's portrayal has trolls online questioning if it's "too much" or "unrealistic." But Salman shut them down with a savage response: "Kisi ko yeh samajh mein aata hai ki...?" – essentially calling out the ignorance of those who don't grasp the gravity of a soldier's sacrifice[web:0 from query]. The drama escalated when China's *Global Times* slammed the film for "distorting facts," claiming the Galwan Valley is on their side, blaming India for provocation, and dismissing Colonel Babu's heroism as a "so-called pivotal role."[1][3][5]. They accused Bollywood of fueling nationalism, but Indian filmmakers like Ashoke Pandit hit back, saying it's only natural to expose enemy actions through cinema[1]. Even government sources defended creative freedom, stressing that storytellers shouldn't be politicized[3]. This isn't just movie buzz – it's reigniting real India-China border tensions from that deadly hand-to-hand combat where India lost 20 soldiers[3].

Salman's bold stand isn't just entertaining – it's a reminder of the sacrifices made at Galwan and how art can honor them, trolls and international backlash be damned[2][4]. With China targeting the film even before release, this could be Bollywood's next big patriotic blockbuster. **What do you think – is Salman's look spot-on for a hero like Colonel Babu, or has China got a point?
