Salman Khan verdict: Friends Farah Khan Ali and Abhijeet blamed people for sleeping on footpath.

Amid Bollywood’s tweets for Salman Khan, jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali and singer Abhijeet upset other Twitter users with posts blaming the government for failing to provide people with housing and suggesting this forced people like the hit-and-run victims to sleep on footpaths.

Khan Ali tweeted, “The govt should be responsible for housing ppl. If no1 was sleeping on d road in any other country Salman wuld not have driven over anybody”; and “It’s like penalising a train driver because someone decided to cross the tracks and got killed in the bargain. #salmankhancase”.

Her tweets were swiftly shared and criticised. Farah Khan Ali later appeared to retreat, saying “And I never said that Salman was faultless. I said 5 yrs is very harsh punishment. He should get less Bec he is a good citizen otherwise.”

The jewellery designer then attempted to clarify her posts, saying that she was not mocking the poor for sleeping on the pavement, nor did she claim that Salman Khan was without fault.

Salman Khan verdict: Bihar’s conjoined twins Saba-Farah stop eating

Moment Salman Khan verdict was out, Bihar’s conjoined twins Saba and Farah stopped eating to show solidarity with the actor.

Bihar’s conjoined twins Saba and Farah — ‘Rakhi-sisters’ of Salman Khan — have begun a fast to express their solidarity with the actor who was on Wednesday sentenced to five years’ jail in a 2002 hit-and-run case.

“Both Saba and Farah refused to eat their lunch after their favourite actor was found guilty and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment (by a Mumbai court)” Shakeel Ahmad, father of the 18-year-old conjoined twins said.

“They are disappointed and shocked over the court’s verdict against Salman Khan,” Ahmad added.

Saba and Farah, residents of Samanpura in Patna, developed a strong emotional bond with the Bollywood actor who helped them fly to Mumbai so that they could fulfill their wish to tie a rakhi on his wrist three years ago.

The conjoined twins have been praying to God for their Salman Bhaiyya (brother), their father said

Salman Khan breaks down in court, after conviction

“Humari police humesha late aati hai aur galat insaan ko hi arrest karti hai.” Actor Salman Khan’s dialogue in his last film Kick was proved wrong on Wednesday after he was pronounced guilty in the 2002 hit-and-run case by a sessions court in Mumbai.

The 49-year-old actor, known for his macho, formidable avatar on-screen, broke down as judge D.W. Deshpande pronounced the verdict. In the film though, he had put on a brave face when he was being imprisoned.

It is ironical to see the actor on the other side of the law in real life because Salman has in recent years been effectively playing a crusader for justice in his films.

Through his cop act in Garv, Wanted and the Dabangg franchise or his role as the do-gooder in films Jai Ho and Kick, the actor has amassed a huge fan following.

Whether as a lover boy or an action hero, Salman’s box-office glory is the envy of most of his contemporaries. He is also one of Bollywood’s most loved stars, which is perplexing considering that he has constantly grabbed headlines for his off-screen antics.

The court ruling does not augur well for the film industry as a big sum of over Rs. 200 crore is riding on the superstar.

His two upcoming films, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo, are currently in the final stages.

In fact, the actor had just returned from Srinagar on Tuesday after wrapping up the shooting of Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Salman is also facing trial in a Rajasthan court for hunting a black buck during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain back in 1998.
