An interview and a statement by the Bhai of Bollywood, Saman Khan made him fall into trouble. Salman was speaking about filming the painstaking wrestling scenes in his upcoming flick Sultan and this is what he said in his quote, “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.”
And he continued, “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.”
Yes, you read it right. Salman Khan refers to himself as a raped woman and later also referred to women as a ‘vice.’
How long does it take such a statement to go viral on social networking sites? As soon as Salman said this statement, the twitter users reacted in both the ways, supporting him and against him. Though it was unclear if he was misquoted, but the hash tag #SalmanMisquoted soon started trendy on the micro blogging site, Twitter.
Here’s how tweeps got all angry over the statement and said what not..
Salman Khan compared his shooting schedule to what a “raped woman” feels like. Is that worse than Lata-Sachin jokes, Bollywood?

kindly remove humanitarian from your bio @BeingSalmanKhan . There cannot be anything more inhuman than using raped woman analogy. SHAME

But, his fans who have always supported him in health and sickness, came up supporting him once again. Here’s what his supporters/fans said:
Salman has not Said anything Wrong,he just Meant Figuratively.. We also Often Say “Rape ho gya yaar itna Kharcha ho gya”.. So Just STFU..

#SalmanKhan‘s statement was totally in different manner & never meant to degrade anyone. Sad to know that he is trolled for wrong reasons😔

Well, all said and done, in this fast technological and criticising world, being at such a position and status you must think a hundred times before you say something or refer to something. Mind your world (even if you are just kidding, or are not meaning it literally) or be prepared for the hatred.
What do you guys think? Comment below your take on the issue.
