Just when Salman Khan was being slammed for his callous “rape comment”, another disturbing incident has come to light. Sachin Kalbag, resident editor of The Hindu, made a series of tweets describing a ‘famous’ actor’s obnoxious and incorrigible behavior with a female journalist.

Although Kalbag refrained from naming the actor or the journalist, it’s pretty clear who he is hinting at.

(6/6) That was the actor’s “revenge” on a female film critic and reporter who had the “audacity” to not like his movies.

(Addendum) The said film reporter and critic, rightly, walked off. Her editor supported her decision.

Apart from his comment on rape, another incident from Salman Khan’s past has gone viral as well. It’s a blog by journalist Mayank Shekhar that states how the actor behaved like a bully and it doesn’t paint a pretty picture.
