Matters only seem to be getting worse around Salman Khan’s rape analogy controversy. Not satisfied with the written reply from the actor, the National Commission for Women on Thursday summoned him to appear before it on July 8.
The Commission also warned the actor that if he fails to appear before the panel, it may proceed to take action as it deems fit.
“Commission finds that you are not willing to apologise for the remarks made by you. The explanation offered by you, after making such an irresponsible and callous statement, doesn’t amount to an apology. Your reply is therefore not satisfactory,” the NCW said in its notice issued yesterday.
However, even as many in the industry are refraining from even touching the topic, Salman’s friend Shah Rukh Khan recently reacted on the issue and said that it wasn’t right for him to comment. “In the last few years, I have come to realise that I have made so many inappropriate comments myself. I don’t think I am someone to sit in judgment for somebody else’s comment. It is not about taking sides. I talk a lot too, so who will sit, judge and decide who should do what. Personally speaking, I don’t think I am anyone to be making a comment. I am so inappropriate myself,” said SRK.
Meanwhile...
Shah Rukh and Salman were recently spotted zipping across the city’s streets on bicycles.
Shah Rukh, who was in the vicinity of Salman’s pad, hit the road to cycle and was joined by the Bhai himself. The former posted a picture and wrote, “Bhai bhai on bike bike. No pollution…bhai says ‘Michael Lal Cycle Lal’.”
