Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap had come out on social media last week and claimed that his career was sabotaged by Salman Khan and his family. “All my projects and creative endeavours have been sabotaged and I have been repeatedly threatened with life and rape threats given to/for the female members of my family. The sustained gaslighting and bullying destroyed my mental health and that of my family and led to my divorce and breaking up of my family in 2017,” he wrote.
