Pakistani RJ apologises

A day after Salman Khan called out the backlash directed at Katrina Kaif, Waris issued an apology to the actress, Khan and her fans. In a new Instagram video, he said, "I am really sorry Katrina Kaif, agaar aapka dil dhukha hai, sorry everyone jiska dil tootha. Mein toh bohot casual andaz mein bol diya tha without any body-shaming intention, lekin pata nahi kis flow mein meine woh baat keh di. Meine galat kiya. Sorry Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and viewers. Meri bilkul bhi neeyat aisi nahi thi, aur na hi meine body-shaming ki hai."

;Meine bas ek hookline ke daur mein, shuru mein halka sa joke kiya," he added, stating that he has realised his mistake and that he didn't intend anything wrong. He also admitted that he regretted making those comments and is sincerely sorry to Katrina. He went on to further called her "superstar of India" and "the world."

He captioned the post as, "SORRY KATRINA KAIF From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely apologize to Katrina Kaif for my recent remarks. After Salman Khan mentioned yesterday on Bigg Boss, I reflected and realized that my words may have hurt Katrina and many of her fans. Body shaming was never my intention. I'm also sorry to Salman Khan and to everyone who felt offended. Sometimes words come out wrong, and I genuinely regret mine. beingsalmankhan katrinakaif" (sic)

Meanwhile, Pakistani actor and singer Ali Zafar had earlier come in support of Katrina following the trolling.

Salman Khan slammed trolls

During the latest weekend episode of Bigg Boss 20, Salman indirectly took a stand for an actor and his friend, Katrina Kaif, who was recently targeted with online trolling over her postpartum weight gain after her appearance at the Ambanis' Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.

Although he did not directly take Katrina's name, Salman said, "Why do you troll somebody who gets pregnant? Pregnant hone ke baad everyone puts on weight…Jab woh picturon mein wapas ajayegi toh woh fit hojayegi…she wants to spend time with her family."
