The post received immense love from fans but it also got subjected to trolls. It was the scarf the actor was wearing which had had two pictures of Sangai deer imprinted on it. Sangai is an endangered subspecies of brow-antlered deer found only in Manipur. The netizens started trolling Salman over his alleged involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
