Now a petition against Katrina Kaif as well for laughing at Salman Khan’s ‘casteist’ joke

Katrina Kaif has also come under fire after Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty for laughing at a ‘casteist’ joke cracked by Salman at a promotional event for Tiger Zinda Hai.

A petition was filed in a Delhi court on Thursday seeking to lodge an FIR against actors Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and others for allegedly making a casteist remark during the promotion of the movie Tiger Zinda Hai.

The plea, filed in the Patiala House Court, alleged that the accused persons had “committed atrocity” on the members of the caste and insulted and humiliated them by making the casteist remark.

The complaint, filed by Harnam Singh, a former Chairman of Delhi Commission for Karamcharis, alleged that the remark was made by Khan during a programme on a television channel while Kaif, “rather than protesting at the offensive and insensitive statement, joined the accused number 1 (Khan) in insulting and abusing the victim through her conduct.”
