Salman Khan has been under fire for comparing himself to a rape victim when he was asked about his tiresome training sessions for Sultan. While some publications say that his comments have been misquoted or misconstrued, others suggest he immediately said ‘I shouldn’t have said that‘. Many people on social media maintain that using rape as an example was unnecessary, and due to this backlash, his father Salim Khan has taken to Twitter to apologize.
Undoubtedly what Salman said is wrong, the simili, example and the context. The intention was not wrong.
