Controversy
Insults by Salman Khan’s Security
In June 2023, actress Hema Sharma gave an interview in which she shared an incident from the sets of Dabangg 3 shot in 2019. She is a huge fan of actor Salman Khan and was very happy to know that she might share the screen with the actor in the film.

Pandit Janardhan has also appeared in several seasons of the Indian reality show Bigg Boss as a celebrity astrologer and face reader. Both Hema and Pandit Janardhan tried to meet Salman Khan, but according to her, she was insulted and treated badly by the actor’s security. Not only that but the security officers forcefully removed him and Pandit Janardhan. They even threatened to ban the entry of Pandit Janardhan. Hema Sharma was treated so badly that, according to her, she was thrown out like a dog in front of a unit of about 100 people. The unit included several individuals known to Hema who intensified the insults. Although Salman Khan was not present at the incident, he was in the vicinity. According to Hema, Salman Khan could have intervened and handled the situation well, but he did not bother to come in between. This makes Hema even more angry and she promises herself not to meet Salman Khan for the rest of her life. This incident caused Hema pain, and she could not sleep for almost 10 days.
