RPG Enterprises Chairman Harsh Goenka offered a humorous yet sharp take on India’s stock market volatility, likening recent swings to Bollywood actors Salman Khan and Uday Chopra. Amid Friday’s market crash, Goenka urged investors to stay calm and focus on quality stocks, calling panic sellers the opposite of investing heroes.
