Salman Khan gave a roaring shout out to Kiran Rao-directed Laapataa Ladies, on Wednesday night. In a post on X (earlier known as Twitter), Salman Khan accidentally called the film Kiran Rao's directorial debut. Ms Rao actually made her debut as a director with the 2011 film Dhobi Ghat. She has also backed films like Peepli Live, Delhi Belly, Talaash and Laal Singh Chaddha among others. "Just saw Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies. Wah wah Kiran. I really enjoyed it and so did my father. Congrats on your debut as a director, superb job. Kab kaam karogi mere saath (When will you work with me)," he wrote. The Internet was quick to correct Salman Khan after his oopsie.
