For those trolls who spread hate and negativity without a reason, Salmaan likes to believe that they have an agenda of their own and he shouldn't be bothered by such people's opinions.

"It does affect me sometimes because I put out sincere and honest work, at least I do. And, we always want to put our heart into the character. But ya, there is criticism, however, a lot of times, it is constructive. But there are also days when it affects you but like any of us, we cannot dwell on it for too long. The best response to any criticism is to work hard and keep moving on," the actor said.

"But then there are a few people who just want to spew hate, so I feel that they have an agenda and we shouldn't bother about it," he added.
