The actor had posted “Thank God for the ceasefire…” following the announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan but deleted it shortly after receiving backlash for not commenting on India’s Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory strike after the Pahalgam terror attack.

Dressed in a black T-shirt and cargo pants, Salman exited the airport under heavy security. Videos circulating on social media show fans and paparazzi cheering and calling out “Bhai” as he quickly made his way to his car without stopping for photos.

While many fans supported him online—praising his style and calling him their “forever hero”—others questioned his silence on Operation Sindoor. Some users on X (formerly Twitter) asked why he hadn’t acknowledged the operation, accusing him of selective commentary.
