Salman Khan said, "Wrestlers fight once or twice in a real fight; during the shooting of Sultan, I had to the act 10 times. For 6 to 7 hours, either I am picking up or am throwing someone. So it was very difficult. When I used to walk out of that (wrestling) ring, it used to be actually like a raped woman walking out.".
Immediately, the media started attacking Salman. The attack was so intense that Salman and his father apologized for the comment, but the attacks continue.
There is nothing wrong in Salman's statement. There is no need for him to apologize, let alone his father. The media is wrong in attacking Salman before and after the apology.
Only Salman knows how he felt after a tough scene; Only a raped woman knows her feelings after the incident. Others can only guess about their feelings. They have no proof to prove anyone false. Not all actors would feel the same after a tough fight scene; probably not all women would feel the same after a rape (since the brutality varies in a huge spectrum). So why cannot Salman feel like some raped woman?
We should support Salman Khan and condemn those who attack him for his feelings. These attackers are sexist, think that only women suffer and deny tough-looking man the right to express his feelings.
