Another celebrity to come out in the 50-year-old actor's defence was director Subhash Ghai, who claimed the actor's comments were misrepresented.
Though Salman made the comments in English, Ghai claimed it was a 'mistranslation' and blamed it on the actor's 'poor English' and said he was 'just a child'.
Here's what he had to say:

The drama began when the 'Dabangg' actor during his recent media interaction shared that he felt like a 'raped woman' because of the rigourous shooting for 'Sultan'.
"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 was quoted as saying.
