Salman faces flak for his rape comment, father need apologises

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Superstar Salman Khan has landed himself in a controversy after he reportedly compared himself with a raped woman when quizzed about the gruelling “Sultan” shoot. Salman, 50, had to undergo rigorous training for the wrestling drama and in his interview he allegedly said that after shooting a scene, he used to feel like a “raped woman”.

“While shooting, during those six hours, there’d be so much of lifting and thrusting on the ground involved. That was tough for me because if I was lifting, I’d have to lift the same 120-kilo guy 10 times for 10 different angles. And likewise, get thrown that many times on the ground. “This act is not repeated that many times in the real fights in the ring. When I used to walk out of the ring, after the shoot, I used to feel like a raped woman. I couldn’t walk straight. I would eat and then, head right back to training.

Salman’s father Noted scriptwriter Salim Khan apologised on behalf of son Salman Khan after the actor compared himself with a raped woman when quizzed about the grueling “Sultan” shoot. The “Sholay” writer, 80, said whatever his son commented was wrong. “Undoubtedly what Salman said is wrong, the simile, example and the context. The intention was not wrong. Nevertheless, I apologise on behalf of his family his fans & his friends. Forgiveness is to pardon the unpardonable or it is no virtue at all,” Salim posted on Twitter.
