Salman for the FIRST TIME speaks on Priyanka's exit from 'Bharat'

The whole Priyanka Chopra walking out of Salman Khan starrer 'Bharat' fiasco is taking new twist each day. Right after the news of Priyanka's decision to not be a part of 'Bharat' broke out, reports of Salman being miffed with the actress started hitting the tinsel town.

A few days later, Salman's dad Salim Khan released a statement stating that Salman is not upset with Priyanka and these kinds of stuff happen in Bollywood. Priyanka's mother Madhu Chopra too had a similar statement and revealed that Salman is not upset with her daughter.

Now, yesterday at the trailer launch of Loveratri, Salman Khan was but obviously quipped about Priyanka's exit. To this, he replied, "I am really happy for her. Uss waqt hum ko ye pata chalta ke unhone wahan par koi bahut badi film sign ki hai aur hume thoda pehla pata chalta to hum waise bhi usko kabhi rokte nahi (If we had known then that she has signed a big Hollywood film, we wouldn't have stopped her from leaving the film). End moment pe pata chala, shooting ke 10 din pehle pata chala. Shooting shuru ho gayi thi meri, par unke schedule se 10 din pehle pata chala ki who picture chhodna chahti hai. (We go to know at the end moment, 10 days before the shooting that she wants to leave the film)".

"We said, of course, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. Uss waqt kuch alag reason diye gaye the hame (We were given another reason then..) Jo bhi reason hai, shaadi ka reason ho, ya picture ka reason ho, ya unko India main nahi kaam karna, ya mere saath nahi kaam karna, sirf Hollywood film aur TV show karna hai, wo unka reason hai. (Whatever her reason be, her wedding, Hollywood film or the fact that she does not want to work with me, it's her reason.) We are really happy and supportive about her doing good work", the actor added.
