WHEN SHAH RUKH KHAN STOOD BY THE SIDE OF SALMAN KHAN

SRK and Salman Khan

Salman Khan is in the Jodhpur central jail after he was convicted in the Blackbuck poaching case for 5 years.

During the shooting of film Hum Saath Saath Hain on October 1, 1998, Salman Khan was accused of killing two blackbucks which are an endangered species, near Jodhpur.

Salman Khan has been convicted by Jodhpur court while Saif, Tabu, and Sonali have been acquitted of all the charges. The court announced that the actor will get five years jail for the killing, as well as a fine of Rs. 10,000. The other four actors involved Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Tabu have been charged under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.

Many Bollywood celebrities like Jaya Bachchan, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Rampal and Subhash Ghai have expressed their disappointment at the verdict.  Television celebrities like Shilpa Shinde, Karan Patel, Suyyash Rai and Jay Bhanushali also expressed their displeasure about the punishment on their social media accounts.

Amidst all this, there is a video of Shah Rukh Khan going viral where he talked about the negative part of being a celebrity.

Shah Rukh Khan said in the video; “To a great extent I feel that there are a lot of advantages of being a movie star and being famous and at the same time there are a few negative things too. And I think one of the negatives of being a celebrity is that you get judged even before your crime is proven or proved. This has happened time and again with Salman. I think by virtue of the impression that stardom is giving to people, they think that they can say anything about the stars and it'll be alright. That I think, is wrong. I think, I'm nobody and I'm genuinely not somebody who can comment on what the law is. We all respect it (the law), but somewhere, at a personal level, one feels and wishes all this did not happen to Salman.”
