Salman's #BottleCapChallenge prompts ire of trollers

Salman Khan's recent video on Bottle Cap Challenge led to trolls questioning the actor's religious belief.

Mumbai: Salman Khan recently took up the trending Bottle Cap Challenge giving a message on water conversation to his fans. However, it caught the ire of a section of netizens who started trolling the actor questioning his religious belief.

Taking to his Instagram on Sunday, the 'Dabangg' actor shared a video showing his own way to kick the cap off the bottle. In the video, Salman is seen shirtless in a gym, all geared up to kick the cap off the bottle.

Just before kicking the cap, Salman stops and approaches the already loosened bottle cap and blows it off. The star then takes the bottle from his helper's hand, and drinks the water, and ends the video by saying "Paani bachao (Save Water)".

The video begins with Salman folding his hands as if he is praying (as in temples), then raising the hands for prayer (as in Namaz) while ending it with a Holy Cross gesture.

While the majority of fans lauded his act, a few trolled the Bhaijaan for supporting multiple religious beliefs.

This was enough for users on social media to question his religious beliefs.

One user wrote: "Salman Khan, are you Muslim or Christian?",

While another, defending the superstar, posted: "Firstly, he did namaste then dua and then cross sign.. he just wants (to) say he is a secular Indian and believes in all religions."

Yet another user wrote: "Which religion do you believe in? Please decide."

However, Salman has always maintained that he doesn't discriminate between people on religious grounds.

On the work front, Salman is currently shooting for 'Dabangg 3'. He has also signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Inshallah' in which he will be seen opposite Alia Bhatt.
