“It is arrogance of Salman, he could have done the job politely also,” a social media user wrote. “Awesome @Being Salman Khan ! Haters will make up some negative stories but for FYI : Salman slapped his security guard who failed to take care of small kids getting trampled in crowd! That is SALMAN KHAN for YOU!,” wrote another fan.
