Salman Khan found himself in the center of a new controversy as he was promoting his upcoming film, Sultan. The actor was quoted as saying that after training for the film’s wrestling scenes, when he walked out of the ring, he felt like a raped woman walking. “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,” he said. However the actor realised his mistake immediately and said ‘I don’t think I should have said that…’ Despite this, social media reacted strongly to the comment.
