Republic TV editor Arnab Goswami took a fresh dig at Bollywood superstar Salman Khan during his primetime debate.Without naming Khan, Goswami said, “There is a coward in Bollywood who says 'I'm Bhai'. Bhai says 'Main isharoon se baat karta hoon, channel band ho jayega, channel band karwa denge.' This fake cowardly elderly Bhai who's now a senior citizen, he does not dare to take my name. He's going around to politicians nowadays saying, 'Can you help me with Republic, can you file a case, they've attacked me.'"This comes after Khan took an indirect jibe at Goswami over the recent fake TRP scam, which also involves Republic TV.
On Saturday, during 'Bigg Boss 14's Weekend Ka War episode, the 'Dabangg' actor, without mentioning any names, told the contestants, "Bigg Boss ke andar ya kisi bhi show ke andar, you have to play the right game. Yeh nahi ki TRP ke liye kuch bhi khelo. Bahut achcha ja rahe ho tum log. From Day-1, I have never seen the response you are getting. To make it bigger and better, be honest and real. Not by ki yaar yeh bakwas kar raha hai, jhoot bol raha hai, chilla raha hai. Point yeh nahi hai. Woh aapke channel ko bandh kar denge.""Jo mujhe kehna tha, indirectly maine keh diya," he added, making it even more obvious.For the uninitiated, Arnab Goswami had recently called out Khan for staying mum on the drugs angle linked to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death that is being probed by the Narcotics Control Bureau.
