When it is about voicing opinion, Bollywood actor Salman Khan is the first person one can think of. Salman, whose movie 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' is already rocking the theatres, has voiced his opinion on Net Neutrality.

During the promotional event of his latest movie in Mumbai, the 49-year-old actor said, "As long as you go with a real identity, it is fine. However, there should be control over making fake identities as people often make fake identities for several reasons and take it to another level. I believe we all are cowards."

Further, the 'Dabangg' Khan expressed that he believes one should keep their thoughts and language under control to not become a bad influence for kids who are on the same platform and if one really wants to voice their opinion then they should take the responsibility for the same as hiding behind a fictitious name is abusing the right to express.

Present at the moment, Kabir Khan, the director of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' added to what Salman had said, "I think it is a very positive development and government should not get into each and every aspect of our life. They need to get away from the regressive thoughts of controlling what people say because people are intelligent enough to decide good and bad for themselves."

Salman, during the event, also revealed that he will be celebrating Eid by relaxing with his family after which he will soon start shooting for Sooraj R. Barjatya's 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'.
