Arbaaz Khan on Salman Khan: “If he needs to apologise, he will”

Salman Khan 6

Arbaaz Khan has come in defence of his brother Salman Khan after comments made yesterday sparked outrage.

At an event, Salman compared his gruelling work schedule in ‘Sultan’ to a woman being raped. He said, “While shooting, during those six hours, there�۪d be so much of lifting and thrusting on the ground involved. That was tough for me because if I was lifting, I�۪d have to lift the same 120-kilo guy 10 times for 10 different angles. And likewise, get thrown that many times on the ground. This act is not repeated that many times in the real fights in the ring. 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.�۝

In response to this, Arbaaz was cited in The Indian Express saying, ���There are certain things which we say while talking and it is important to see the intention with which it was said. There is no doubt that whatever Salman said, the intention was not wrong. It was a comparison quite akin to someone saying there was a huge mountain on my shoulders or I worked like a donkey. Now, will the usage of the word ��donkey�۪ make animal activists upset? Sometimes, certain things you say are out of context and the meaning which is not bad. But if you become over sensitive over it, then it will become a controversial issue. I am sure Salman must have realised the comparisons that he made was not maybe appropriate and for that if he feels the need to apologise, he will apologise or not apologise, it�۪s up to him. I don�۪t think it is fair if I say he has to apologise or not.�۝
