Watch: Salman Khan's special video message for differently abled kids

Salman, who was apologetic about not being able to attend the festival sent a very heartwarming video message. In the short clip, which was played in the Opening Ceremony on December 1, Salman said, "This Film festival is a great initiative and a noble thought. Cinema, movies and Entertainment is a big part of the Indian culture and I think everybody should be a part of this culture and why should the differently abled people be left out of this? Many who can see but not hear and some who can hear but not see, they all should go and enjoy and should be provided with the necessary facilities."

The festival where 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' was screened saw the presence of Kabir Khan and Harshaali Malhotra. When asked about what was going on in his mind about disability while making the film, Kabir Khan said, "When we were making Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the very important thing that we wanted to show was that everyone forgets that Munni (Harshaali) is disabled, we wanted to bring in that dignity and spirit of normal person in her and treat her like normal, regular person. This was the entire viewpoint of the film."
