Salman Khan has done it again. He blew everyone’s mind by sending a legal reply to the National Commission for Women (NCW). The reply has been sent by Salman’s lawyer, and it apparently does not contain any apology, according to the NCW.

The women’s commission had summoned Salman for making insensitive comments while describing the gruelling shoot of his upcoming movie Sultan. Salman in a media interaction had said that he felt like a “raped woman” after shooting fight sequences of the film.

His comment invited a lot of criticism from all sections, despite his family coming out to support him, like always. The NCW, meanwhile, is in no mood of letting Salman go easily. Lalitha Kumaramangalam, NCW chief, informed that the commission will reply to Salman soon.

“The reply has come from his lawyer, which means it is a legal reply. So we can’t just reply off the cuff,” Kumaramangalam said. “We will finalise the report by Thursday and then dispatch our reply to Khan. After that, we will make public both his letter to NCW and our decision.”

According to reports, in his reply Salman has said that the comments were not made intentionally, and the whole controversy has affected his image. He has allegedly also cited double jeopardy over the panel, which is handling the matter.

Meanwhile on Wednesday, the Bollywood superstar was asked by the state panel to appear on July 7. It is not clear whether he will turn up or not. “That would be decided that day,” Vijaya Rahatkar, MSCW chairperson, said.

Salman Khan in troubled waters following ‘rape’ remark; that’s how Twitter reacts https://glint.tv/movies/salman-khan-in-troubled-waters-following-rape-remark-thats-how-twitter-reacts/ Wed, 22 Jun 2016 07:16:42 +0000 https://glint.tv/?p=2387

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has, again, found himself in a middle of a controversy, after making an alleged derogatory remark on women. Salman was quoted saying that he felt like ‘a raped woman’ while shooting one of the scenes in his upcoming movie Sultan.

Salman’s comment has faced such a fury that National Women’s Commission (NWC) has termed his statement ‘reprehensible’. The NWC has even asked Salman to make a public apology for the remark, and explain his statement within seven days.

 

After all the storm following Salman’s remark came into light, first it was father Salim Khan who came in for his son’e defence on Twitter.

The Sultan has maintained silence on the issue, and is yet to issue any statement, but his brother Arbaaz Khan has come out in his defence. Arbaaz said that Salman’s statement has been misinterpreted and his brother will issue clarification, if required.

“There are some things which we say while talking but we should look at the intention – why was it said? I definitely have no doubt that whatever Salman said, the intention was not wrong,” Arbaaz said, during the launch of the logo of his new film Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai.

Meanwhile, Salman has got a mixed response on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Film director Vivek Agnihotri wrote that there is no need to, while other users said Salman was misquoted in the media.
