Famous Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt has responded to social media criticism and comparisons linking him with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
Speaking during a recent private podcast, Rajab Butt clarified that he has never been under the impression that he could be compared to a star of Salman Khan’s stature.
Recalling a story from his school days, Rajab Butt said that while studying in ninth grade, he did imitate Salman Khan to some extent. He shared that he got both of his ears pierced after being inspired by the Bollywood actor and also developed an interest in bodybuilding because of him.
The YouTuber explained that the viral moment in which people accused him of copying Salman Khan was simply a casual interaction with fans. He said supporters were calling out his name and reciting poetry and in response he merely waved at them.
Rajab Butt said people then started trolling him, claiming he was trying to become Salman Khan.
He stressed that Salman Khan holds a completely different and much bigger status in the entertainment world and has dedicated his entire life to achieving that position. Rajab Butt added that there is no comparison between them in terms of stature or achievements.
The YouTuber further said that despite this, he continued to face mockery online and believes people make such comments because they have nothing else to do.
