Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif Might Come Together To Promote Urdu, Netizens Ask, 'Is This A Joke?'
It looks like looks the Twitterati ain't pleased with the government's decision to approach actors like Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif for Urdu language promotion.
Recently,
there
were
reports
that
the
National
Council
for
Promotion
of
Urdu
Language
has
plans
of
roping
in
popular
Bollywood
celebrities
like
Shahrukh
Khan,
Salman
Khan,
Katrina
Kaif
and
others
to
promote
the
Urdu
language
and
make
it
popular
with
the
youngsters.
A
Print
report
quoted
Aquil
Ahmed,
director,
NCPUL
as
saying,
"We
are
going
to
approach
Bollywood
actors,
prominent
names
like
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Salman
Khan
and
make
them
say
a
few
lines
in
Urdu,
we
will
then
use
these
videos
in
our
events."
However,
it
looks
like
the
Twitterati
ain't
pleased
with
the
government's
decision
to
approach
actors
like
Salman
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif
for
the
language
promotion.
Here's
what
some
of
them
had
to
say-
"Urdu
is
doing
completely
fine
without
endorsement
from
Katrina
Kaif
and
Salman
Khan."

"Katrina
even
don't
know
Hindi
properly
hw
she
can
Urdu??
Salman
is
good
actor
but
language
needs
knowledge
,
action
won't
work.
Shahrukh
khan
may
be
fine..."

"Salim
Khan
would
have
been
a
better
choice.
Not
sure
whether
Salman
can
even
read
Urdu...and
Katrina......lesser
said
is
better."

"Sallu
and
Katrina???
Well....looks
like
this
move
is
to
ensure
urdu
dies
an
accidental
death."
On
the
film
front,
Salman
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif
will
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
once
again
in
Ali
Abbas
Zafar's
Bharat.
The
film
is
slated
to
release
on
Eid
2019.
