@Ryan Kiddo I think the beginning of these supposed non-sensical arguments coming from "Southiees" is how for them, the poster boys are Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Sanjay Dutt. Shah Rukh Khan is perhaps hated because he is far too witty for comfort, and well, if you look back at what Salman and Sanjay have done in some of their interviews and public appearances, it just perpetuates the stereotype of A-list Bollywood celebrities being arrogant, hot-headed, and downright stupid.
