Salman Khan has joined the hordes taking to Twitter to complain about bad service and it is luxury automobile maker Range Rover which has found itself at the receiving end of the actor's ire.
Yesterday, the actor who owns a SUV tweeted about the many breakdowns suffered by the vehicle and then complained about the customer service offered by the company.
It all started with the first tweet, "Meri bichari Range Rover ka hal kharab hai in last 1&1/2 years, 9 times breakpads have failed, 1 bari pura suspension gaya or kal gadi hi baith gayi (sic)"
The actor, who had to take an auto rickshaw ride after the car broke down on Monday, was not too pleased with the company's response to his dilemma.
"Kinda pissed with the attitude of the people at Range Rover they hv no concept of customer service (sic)," wrote Salman on the microblogging network.
The actor is now driving his father's sedan while his Range Rover recuperates in a workshop.
When contacted Salman's father, Salim Khan, said, "His car gave him a lot of trouble. There may be a defect in the vehicle. So, as of now, he is using my sedan."
Though the automobile company is yet to release a statement about the incident, a senior official who requested anonymity, brushed it off as a starry tantrum.
"Salman chose to complain on Twitter instead of reaching out to us. There is a big uproar in the company itself but a problem in suspension is a normal occurrence in a three year old car. He is a big celebrity so he can make a hue and cry. If we get the required parts on time, Salman will get his car back in the next couple of days," said the official.
