| Though there was laughter in response to his comment rape, Salman Khan realised he had slipped. he can be clearly heard saying, “I don’t think I should have...” (audio below) |
Salman Khan has landed in a new controversy for saying he felt like a raped woman when doing tough scenes for Sultan.
There has been a media furor and even the National Commission of Women is up in arms over his insensitive statement.
Indian Express has released the full audio recording of Salman Khan's comments, which was made during a media interaction, last Saturday at Mehboob studio in Mumbai.
After making the damaging comment, he seems to have realised it immediately and tried to make amends.
Here is how it went.
Salman Khan was sharing with journalists the ordeal he faced while shooting for Sultan. He had to lift and throw a man weighing 120 kg almost 10 times for five different camera angles. And he did this for six to seven hours.
“It is like the most difficult thing...When I used to walk out of that ring, it used to be actually like a raped woman walking out,” he said.
Though there was laughter in response to his comment, Salman Khan realised he had slipped. he can be clearly heard saying, “I don’t think I should have...”
He then tried to clarify what he had said, “It feels like the most difficult….I couldn’t take steps...”
As Indian Express rightly notes, the first part of his statement went viral. The part in which he tried to retract was missed out in the outrage.
