Bollywood actor Salman Khan sparked backlash in 2025 for listing Balochistan separately from Pakistan at a Riyadh forum, fueling debate over regional identity.
Bollywood actor Salman Khan sparked controversy at the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh when he mentioned "Balochistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan" in a sequence that some interpreted as separating Balochistan from Pakistan.
Speaking about South Asian diaspora workers in the Middle East, his phrasing led to widespread online debate, with reactions divided over whether it was an accidental slip or a deliberate acknowledgment of Balochistan’s distinct identity.
While Balochistan remains internationally recognized as part of Pakistan, the comment reignited discussions about regional autonomy and identity.
