Actor Salman Khan has recently drawn attention for his appearance, with trolls commenting on his hair and fans worrying about his health.

Even as the actor previously shut down rumours about his health, the recent episode of “Weekend Ka Vaar” on “Bigg Boss 20” saw him address rumours of a hair transplant and talk about the death of his close friend, Kumod Raney, Hindustan Times reports.

Salman seemed infuriated as he spoke about the trolling he has been facing. “Takla hogaya ha kyai (Has he gone bald)…picture ka look hai. And the real reason is, a friend of mine passed away some two months ago. Transplant karaya bhai (Bhai got a transplant),” he said, adding, “It doesn’t make a difference to me, but so many get depressed over it.”

The actor has “Maatrubhumi” lined up, as well as a yet-to-be-titled film with Vamshi Paidipally and Nayanthara.

Salman’s longtime family friend, entrepreneur Kumod Raney, died on Jun 9 this year. Salman and members of his family, including Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Arpita Khan and Helen, attended her funeral and got emotional. She was married to Juggey Raney, a close friend of Salman’s.

The famed actor also spoke about how he has the kind of personality that turns something bad to his advantage. He also stated that he is the kind of person who will prove naysayers wrong and ensure that those who praise him have all the more reason to do so.

He said, “But there are so many people about whom bad things which are not true are written, they go into depression. So many have died by suicide. Troll troll troll…kuch bhi yaar. (Whatever, man)”

He said the language that these trolls use shows their “upbringing and who they are.”

“No one should even bother with them. Sometimes I wonder if these are even our people. Are they even humans? It would be an understatement to call them parasites. And we need to wipe this out. If you don’t want to watch my films, then don’t.”
