There was speculation that Bhansali might back out from thedate because who wants to take on SRK, really. But SLB decided to stick to the date. The announcement of that came from DP on social media when she announced the news saying “Challenge accepted.” to the effect that she and her team were up for the challenge — both films release on December 18 — and will look to get the upper hand at the box-office.
Says a source, “Competitiveness is one thing. But you cannot have this attitude towards the man who gave you a break and made you a star. SRK was not happy with her attitude, but he is not the kind to make a public display of his emotions. He launched her and he even set an example with Chennai Express when he insisted that his leading lady’s name come ahead of his.”
Deepika probably got wind of the fact that King Khan was miffed with her and she deleted the comment from social media, but by then it had been seen by a lot of people and the damage had been done.”
He, however, said that once Geeta is back in India and wants to meet him, "I would definitely meet her". Talking to reporters on the success of his cross-border drama, which earned Rs 300 crore at the box-office, Salman said he was happy that Geeta was being looked after well in Pakistan.
"I am not very clear. I am aware of some history. Like 15 years ago, she reached Pakistan in a train. Before this, her parents did not try to claim her? No FIRs were filed? I think some NGO from Pakistan is involved. We should leave it to the girl and thank the NGO of Pakistan and the foster parents, who supported her all these years and gave her a good life," he said.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj recently said that the government will bring back Geeta. Four families from different parts of the country have claimed Geeta to be their child.
She has got a fresh lease of hope after the success of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, where Salman plays an Indian guy who helps a little girl reach her home in Pakistan.
When asked whether he had tried to help Geeta, Salman said he would have got involved but the government is already looking into the matter.
"... Government is looking into it. And they are competent and should take this forward. If she agrees and they find her rightful parents, this should definitely be done."
Geeta, 23, is believed to have mistakenly crossed into Pakistani territory as a child. She was 7-8 years old when she was found by the Pakistan Rangers 15 years ago from Lahore railway station, according to reports from Pakistan.
