Salman Khan hasn’t really been able to understand Priyanka Chopra’s need for investing in social and dating application Bumble, which was launched in India earlier this year. Why? Because she’s married already. Didn’t get this? We’ll explain.
During a press conference for his upcoming production Notebook in Mumbai on Wednesday, Salman was asked about the relevance of the film in the digital era as millennials are discovering love on dating applications such as Tinder. If that is the question, Salman’s reply was short and sweet as he quipped, "Why only Tinder and not Grindr." Soon after, a reporter asked Salman about Bumble but the actor wasn’t aware of it as he said, 'What is Bumble, who launched it?"

After Salman was informed that Priyanka had launched Bumble in India, he said, "Why does Priyanka need Bumble?" His response basically implied that he wasn’t able to understand Priyanka’s “need” for launching the dating application after her wedding to American singer Nick Jonas. Priyanka and Nick married in December 2018.

Bumble aims to bring about social change and women empowerment in India, as per Priyanka Chopra. In case, you are unaware of the app, India is the first country in Asia to get Bumble, which was founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd shortly after she left Tinder, a dating app she co-founded. Bumble has 45 million users in 140 countries. Apart from being a date-finding platform, it also facilitates friendships with its ‘BFF mode’ and business networking via Bumble Bizz.
Workwise, Notebook, starring newcomers Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl, will release on March 29. The film has been produced by Salman under his banner Salman Khan Films. Salman, himself, is gearing up for the release of his Eid release Bharat, co-starring Katrina Kaif.
