Salman Khan said his mother, Salma Khan, became worried after his social media post about being “alone and lonely” went viral, as he moved to clarify that the message was not about his own state of mind. “I was not talking about myself,” Khan said.
The remark came after the post spread quickly online and drew attention for the words “alone and lonely,” which prompted concern at home as well as among fans. Khan’s clarification is the key point: he was responding to the reaction his post set off, not describing himself.
The only material available is a headline from an entertainment desk page, but that headline makes the sequence clear. First came the post, then the viral reaction, then Salma Khan’s concern, and finally Khan’s explanation that the message was not personal.
What matters now is that the question raised by the viral post has been answered. Khan said plainly that it was not about him, which should draw a line under the immediate wave of speculation around the message.
