Bollywood superstar Salman Khan definitely rules the film industry and enjoys a huge fan following but at the same time, he has no dearth of haters when it comes to driving. Even his fans are well aware of the fact that the actor can’t afford to preach on road safety and in such a case, when a piece of advice came from him, Twitter cracked up and couldn’t stop trolling Salman in an ironical and epic way.
On Monday, this is what Salman said at the launch event of Being Human e-cycles,
“I think cycles are okay but motorcycles are really dangerous for them (youngsters) and for other people around as well. We shoot in Film City so I see on the highway people racing recklessly. Earlier there used to be races at the (Bandra) reclamation (where) I lost a friend of mine. I am against that. If you want to race, do that on the racing tracks. Don’t use main roads.”
Twitter couldn’t digest this advice from Sallu Bhai and mocked him in the most kickass way! Here are few selected tweets:
A dig at the black buck case:

Users didn’t fail to remember Vijay Mallya here:
Salman Khan lectured people about road safety!? LOOOOOL what's next, a money management seminar from Vijay Mallya? 🙄

Salman Khan lecturing on "road rage" is like Vijay Mallya giving a TED talk on "how to repay your debts on time."

Meanwhile, Twitterati took a jibe at Jackie Shroff:

Who needs comedy shows when we have ample stuff to laugh?
Zakir naik preaches on peace, kejriwal preaches on corruption and now Salman preaches on road safety? Who needs comedy shows to laugh.

It’s officially the beginning of “Ghor Kalyug”:

So this is where the ‘gyaan’ has come from:
He realised this after racing on footpath. What a gyaan

Twitter’s advice to Salman Khan:
If you want to drive a car , drive it on roads and not on foot path
— vella hadid (@gocoronanidhi) June 6, 2017
And to people on footpath:
Footpath walo side ho jayu

If you remember, the actor was accused of killing a man after he crushed him in the year 2002 in Mumbai. In the unfortunate incident, four people were left injured too. It was in Dec 2015 that he got acquitted; however, common public has not forgotten the incident and the unpleasant controversy of the same still haunts Salman Khan.
What do you have to say with regard to this?
