On Friday, Salman Khan’s family had to endure an embarrassing situation as the cops summoned Arbaaz Khan in connection with an IPL betting case. The scandal couldn’t have happened at a less opportune time, what with Salman promoting his upcoming film, Race 3, with a vengeance.
To avoid being asked any uncomfortable questions at an event on Friday, which was held to release a new song from the film, Salman Khan had to give strict instructions to the Race 3 marketing team that all media interactions be avoided.
Says a source, “Salman’s girlfriend Iulia was brought on stage to divert attention from the Arbaaz issue. He sang with her on stage. This was not planned for the media. Having emerged from his own quota of controversies, Salman is not ready to face up to queries about his family members.”
If push comes to shove, Salman may cease all media interactions before Race 3.
