Salman is back in Bollywood from London where he was shooting for B R Chopra's Baghbaan. Denying plans to hold a press he said, "I don't know where that came from. I have said so earlier, and I say so now: I have nothing to say on the matter." Meanwhile, sections of the film industry who spoke up for Salman still support him. Says Suniel Shetty, "I stand by what I said earlier. The differences between Vivek and Salman were an internal matter. It should have been sorted out on that level." Manoj Bajpai, Kareena Kapoor and other stars who don't want to go on record feel it was wrong of Vivek to go public with his grievances.
Meanwhile, a communal colour is being given to the fight between two colleagues. Rumours in Mumbai say Salman and his family are seeking the help of Muslim organisations to 'protect' him from the new crisis in his life. Salman is appalled. "I believe in every God on earth. They will protect me against these vicious lies."
