Watch: Vicky Kaushal opens up on Salman Khan's bodyguards pushing him at IIFA 2023

Vicky Kaushal reacted to a viral clip that seemingly showed him being blocked by superstar Salman Khan's security team. On Friday, the video from the sidelines of the 2023 IIFA Awards and Weekend went viral on social media, showing Khan's security team seemingly pushing the Sardar Udham actor when he stopped to greet Salman.

Abu Dhabi: International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) 2023 in Abu Dhabi stirred up controversy after a video surfaced showing Salman Khan's bodyguards pushing Vicky Kaushal on Thursday. The viral video is from IIFA press conference which was attended by Vicky, Abhishek Bachchan, Rakul Preet Singh, Nora Fatehi, and Salman who arrived late for the event.

At the IIFA Rocks green carpet, Vicky was even asked about the incident. Reacting to the viral clip, Vicky, said, "Kayi baar bahut baatein badh jaati hain (Sometimes things are blown out of proportion). There is unnecessary chatter about many things. Things are not actually as they seem sometimes in the video. There is no point in talking about that."
