Siddharth Anand, Ameesha Patel REACT To Zakir Khan’s Jibe On Juhu-Bandra People Amid Dhurandhar The Revenge Success; Slam Him For ‘Jealousy In Bollywood’

Zakir Khan’s remark about Bollywood’s silence regarding Dhurandhar 2’s success has stirred reactions from Siddharth Anand and Ameesha Patel. The stand-up comedian, while hosting the Screen Awards, made a playful jibe at the film industry, saying, “No matter how many congratulatory posts, stories, or interviews you do, the truth is that everyone is envious of Dhurandhar.” He added humorously, “Bombs explode in Lyari, and smoke rises from Juhu to Bandra.” His comment was met with laughter, seen by many as a light-hearted tease, but it also upset some industry insiders.

Siddharth Anand, director of hits like Pathaan and War, expressed his disapproval on X (formerly Twitter), though he didn’t mention Zakir by name. He stated, “Juhu – Bandra peeps have given all ATBB’s (all-time blockbusters) since the past 50 years. You have to be a real duffer to undermine their contribution”.

Ameesha Patel also voiced her opinion on X, urging Zakir to stop spreading negativity. She asserted, “DUDE, Stop spreading NEGATIVITY! The film industry has valued and respected DHURANDHAR! Superstars like SRK, SALMAN, SUNNY, HRITHIK, AJAY, etc. have given not just one but 25-plus mega hits and will continue to do so. CHILL, GADAR bahut saalon se sabne machai hai, aur aage bhi machaayenge.”

About Rajpal-Saurabh-Zakir’s Controversy

In addition to Zakir’s comment, Sourabh Dwivedi’s personal remark about Rajpal Yadav during the awards ceremony also drew criticism. Sourabh referenced Yadav’s past financial issues, saying, “No matter how much the dollar fluctuates, you still have to return the same amount of money.” This led to a nationwide backlash.

Salman Khan came to Rajpal’s defence, assuring him he would continue to get work and earn well. Rajpal himself later stepped in, asking fans not to troll Sourabh and clarifying that the comments do not hurt him.
