In a recent press event when superstar Salman Khan spoke about his hardship during his shooting of Sultan, he compared his situation to that of a raped woman.
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. That couldn’t stop,” he had said.
In a series of tweets, the father of the superstar, Salim Khan apologised on behalf of his son and accepted the fact that his son was wrong.
Undoubtedly what Salman said is wrong, the simili, example and the context. The intention was not wrong.
