Netizens
are
upset
with
the
winners
list
of
the
65th
Filmfare
Awards,
which
took
place
in
Guwahati
on
February
15,
2020.
And
amidst
all
the
angry
tweets
with
the
hashtag
#BoycottFilmfare,
a
throwback
video
of
Salman
Khan
is
going
viral
on
the
Internet,
wherein
the
superstar
can
be
seen
slamming
the
award
functions
brutally.
Apparently,
Salman
had
given
this
interview
on
the
sets
of
Pyaar
Kiya
To
Darna
Kya
in
1997.
He
had
said,
"I
think
the
people
who
don't
have
confidence
in
themselves
want
awards.
I
won't
go
up
and
pick
Filmfare
or
any
stupid
award.
National
Award
mile
toh
that's
prestigious.
That
I'll
go
and
pick."
"Filmfare
ka
magazine
bhi
hamare
dum
par
chalta
hai.
Ke
aapke
interview
pe
aur
stars
ke
interview
pe
jo
magazine
chal
rahi
hai
wohi
aapko
bulate
hai
aur
bolte
hai
ki
they're
going
to
give
you
an
award.
You
come
and
perform."
(The
Filmfare
magazine
works
because
of
the
movie
stars...on
our
interviews.
And
then
they
call
and
tell
us
that
we're
giving
you
an
award,
so
you
had
better
perform
for
us.)
"Then
they
sell
it
to
Pan
Parag
and
Manikchand
(tobacco
brands)
and
we
are
like
idiots...
suit-boot
pehen
ke
baithe
hai
aur
award
le
rahe
hai.
It
is
like
tomorrow
my
driver,
spotboy
and
my
make-up
man
will
say
that
Baba
aaj
hum
aapko
award
dete
hai.
That's
stupid," had
added
Salman,
while
blasting
the
award
functions.
Apart
from
Salman
Khan,
there
are
many
Bollywood
stars
including
Aamir
Khan,
Akshay
Kumar,
Kangana
Ranaut,
Kajol
and
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui,
who
have
stopped
attending
award
ceremonies
for
a
similar
reason.
Salman
Khan
was
last
seen
in
Dabangg
3
opposite
Sonakshi
Sinha
and
will
be
seen
next
in
Radhe
and
Kick
2.
