Bollywood actor Salman Khan has spent most of his quarantine days in his lush green Panvel farmhouse near Mumbai.
The actor has recorded songs, done promo shoots, recorded commercials - all from the confines of Panvel.
However, a recent social media post by the megastar seems to have hit a wrong note with the netizens. Salman Khan showcased his bare huge muscles in a soil-clad picture paying tribute to farmers.
Two days ago, the actor posted a picture on his Instagram where he was seen in the rice fields. Salman Khan was seen walking with crops in his both hands. His smiling face surely had lit up everyone’s day. His picture was loved by everyone and became viral within minutes after posting. In the caption, Salman wrote, ‘Daane daane pe likha hota hai khane wale Ka naam… jai jawan ! jai kissan !’

However, the actor’s post dedicated to farmers has received major flak on social media. The Dabangg actor's 'tribute' has been mocked ruthlessly online, particularly what social media sees as the actor's photo-op depicting himself as a son of the soil.

2Right arm periphery clearly indicates that mud is only in front side
3Mud reaching shoulder top but not toucing vest shoulders
Expected more of a veteran actor/ producer, but appreciate the emotion

bilkul bhai, a huge respect to our farmers who do farming without a photographer around them, without uploading pics on internet and who work in the fields staying unknown and away from all the limelight🙏 https://t.co/LTGRLEM95Q
