His message was open and sincere, brushing aside the gossip with a dose of gratitude. Saleem shared that he wasn’t bothered by the promotional absence at all; instead, he was genuinely happy about the love the show was getting. He wrote, "Though I don’t have any behind-the-scenes shots, if you’ve looked closely at the promotional assets, you might spot a familiar face. I poured my heart into this project, and now it’s yours to experience. I’d love to hear what you think.. let’s make this blank space come alive with your thoughts!

Though he didn’t give a clear reason for his choice, his Instagram post caught everyone’s attention, sparking immediate reactions. He emphasised that seeing the positive audience response was what mattered most to him. With this statement, Saleem shifted the focus back to where it belonged—the success of Citadel: Honey Bunny. ‘Citadel Honey Bunny’ Review: Netizens Give Green Signal to Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Spy-Thriller Series.
