Palak Tiwari Takes U-Turn On Salman Khan's Strict Dress Code For Women On Sets Rule. Here's What She Said

Palak Tiwari Salman Khan: As everybody is eagerly looking forward to seeing Palak Tiwari's Bollywood debut in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. She recently stirred waves with her statement about Salman Khan's strict dress code rules for women on his sets. Earlier, in an interview, Palak had mentioned that Khan had advised all women to dress modestly and avoid wearing revealing clothing.

Her remark caused massive concern online, with many taking offence to the statement. However, Palak has now clarified that her words were misinterpreted. For the unversed, Palak worked as an assistant AD on Salman Khan's movie Antim, where Bhai asked his female crew to refrain from wearing low necklines. He further asked them to cover properly.

PALAK TIWARI CLARIFIES ON SALMAN KHAN'S STRICT DRESS CODE FOR WOMEN RULE

The young actress has now taken a U-turn and issued a clarification on her statement. Speaking to ETimes, Palak said, "It's really been misunderstood. All I wanted to say is that I have put certain guidelines for myself as to how to dress around people who are way senior to me, who have I pretty much grown up idolising. Salman sir is of course one of them."

WHAT DID PALAK TIWARI SAY ABOUT SALMAN KHAN'S RULE FOR FEMALE CREW?

Earlier, in an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Palak had said, "When I was AD-ing with Salman sir on Antim, I don't think many people know this, Salman Sir had a rule 'Ki koi bhi ladki mere set pe, neckline should be here (for every girl on my set, the neckline should be here), all the girls should be covered, like good proper girls'. So my mom saw me (going to set) in proper shirt, jogger and covered and all. She was like, 'Where are you going? How are you dressed so well?' I said I am going to Salman Sir's set. She was like 'Wow, very good'."

Calling Khan a traditionalist, Palak mentioned why he had such a rule only for women. "He's a traditionalist... Of course, he's like 'Jo pehenna hai pehno (wear what you like)', but he's always like 'My girls should always be protected'. If there are men around, whom she doesn't personally know, it's not his personal space where he doesn't trust everyone, he's like, 'the girl should be safe, always," she added.
