‘I felt like a raped woman’: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan under fire for provocative comments
Indian actor was referring to the physical toll taken during production of his latest film, in which he plays a wrestler.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has sparked controversy in India by saying his heavy training schedule for an upcoming film left him feeling “like a raped woman”.
Khan made the comments in an interview to promote his latest Bollywood movie Sultan, which tells the story of an ageing wrestler trying to make a comeback.
“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,” 50-year-old Khan said in an interview with local news site Spotboye.com published on Monday.
In the same interview, Khan said he had been able to quit every “vice” except women, saying that he had given up cigarettes, coffee and alcohol but not female company. “There’s nothing left to quit anymore,” he told the site. Social media users slammed the actor’s comments.
“If you are a Salman Khan fan, it’s good, but if you support his pathetic statement, you are nothing but a disgusting creature,” wrote Twitter user @gautamverma23.
