Bollywood actor Salman Khan&rsquo;s reply to notices issued by the women&rsquo;s panels over his controversial &ldquo;raped woman&rdquo; simile has not gone down well with either the National Commission for Women (NCW) or the Maharashtra State Women&rsquo;s Commission (MSWC).

While the NCW has found the actor&rsquo;s reply to its notice &ldquo;unapologetic&rdquo;, the state women&rsquo;s panel rejected his reply and has summoned him in person on July 7.
&ldquo;Salman Khan has replied to our notice. We are not going to reveal the contents of the letter, it would suffice to say that the letter does not sound apologetic,&rdquo; said NCW Chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam.
Salman filed the reply through his lawyers and according to sources, the &ldquo;tone and tenor&rdquo; of the letter is &ldquo;legalese&rdquo;.
In his letter dated June 28 to MSWC &mdash; submitted through his lawyer &mdash; Salman said that since the matter is already before the NCW, it should not be continued with the MSWC to avoid duplication.
But the state women&rsquo;s panel does not agree with Salman&rsquo;s contention.
&ldquo;We have asked him to put forth his views in an affidavit,&rdquo; said MSWC Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar.
Last week, when Salman was asked how difficult it was to shoot wrestling scenes for his upcoming movie Sultan in which he plays a wrestler, he said, &ldquo;While shooting during those six hours, there was so much of lifting and thrusting that it was unbelievable. When I used to walk out of the ring, I used to feel actually like a raped woman walking out.&rdquo; This infuriated several women&rsquo;s groups who demanded an apology after which the actor&rsquo;s father, Salim Khan, pitched in.
