Salman spoke about how he and his team track the people and accounts that target him online.
“I know who trolls me. We have so many fan clubs that we know who does what. We just choose not to react,” he said, according to the Indian Express report.
The actor alleged that some people make money by putting celebrities down and suggested that industry figures could sometimes encourage such activity by paying for negative campaigns.
“Then people talk about corruption. For money, they give four or five stars to films. That is also a huge corruption,” Salman said.
He questioned whether those involved in such practices were in a position to speak about ethics and morals.
