Arbaaz Khan and Salman Khan at Dabangg 2 Premiere
Arbaaz Khan and Salman Khan

Salman Khan‘s earlier comments about “feeling like a raped woman” after an intense Sultan scheduled resulted in a huge outcry on social media – several called him out on it, while others defended him. Salman himself has not said anything about it, but Salim Khan went on record earlier to apologise for his son’s comments, saying that they weren’t intentional. And now, Arbaaz Khan has responded to the controversy, reiterating that Salman’s intentions weren’t bad.

Here’s what he said, according to IANS:

There is no doubt that in what Salman said, the intention was not bad. Sometimes you say something out of context but your intention is not bad. But if you become oversensitive over it then you can create a controversy out of anything. I am sure that Salman must have realised that the comparison he made was not appropriate and for that, if he feels that he needs to apologise, he will apologise. I don’t think I am entitled to say that he has to apologise or not. I hope that he would give a clarification as a controversy has been created. People look up to him and he has a lot of following. So if he has made a statement that does not look appropriate or does not sound good to the ears, I think in time he will give a statement.

What’s your take on Arbaaz’s comments?
