Chandrachur Singh Calls Salman Khan 'Liar'; Refutes His Claims of No Work When KKHH Was Offered

In a recent turn of events, Bollywood actor Chandrachur Singh has lashed out at Salman Khan and called him a liar. The Josh actor's response comes after Salman Khan made statements suggesting that Chandrachur had no work when he turned down a role in Karan Johar's, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

KKHH which marks the directorial debut of Karan Johar starred Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and Salman Khan in lead roles and it recently completed 25 years of its release. While SRK agreed to his role, before Salman Khan's involvement in the film, Karan Johar had approached several actors, including Chandrachur Singh and Saif Ali Khan who had turned it down.

Last week, a video from Koffee With Karan surfaced on the internet that showed KJo recounting his initial pitch to Salman Khan, stating, "I remember the first time I ever came to your zone to narrate my first film to you. Saif and Chandrachur had said no to the role. And you said that no one's going to do your role, you come and meet me tomorrow."

Salman Khan who was a guest on the show said, "It was not difficult for you to get a Shah Rukh Khan in the film but it was very difficult for you to get this casting (Aman) because Saif at that point of time was doing nothing. Chandrachur was doing nothing. Even they refused it. I did it, Karan. I saw talent, I saw genius in you. And after that you never worked with me."

Chandrachur Singh, however, had a different take on the situation and called Salman Khan a liar. A user on Reddit shared a conversation between Singh and a fan on Instagram where he expressed his disagreement and commented, "Jhoot Salman ka."

When the user asked him what the lie was, the actor explained "Mere paas Josh, Daag The Fire, Kya Kehna, Silsila Hai Pyaar Ka, etc. This. I made a choice." Chandrachur, however, deleted his comment.

Meanwhile, Karan Johar revealed a harrowing incident from the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai's premiere night. He recalled receiving a threat from a gangster and seeking refuge in a hotel room. During this time, Shah Rukh Khan showed unwavering support for him, vowing to protect him.
