Bollywood superstar Salman Khan courted controversy once again, when he said that training for his upcoming film Sultan left him feeling like a raped woman, evoking outrage everywhere. In an interview to an online portal, 50-year-old Salman said that when he used to walk out of the ring after the shoot, he felt like a raped woman. He stated that he could not walk straight.

If you can’t quite believe what you are reading, then, you need to believe it. Sallu did use those words and then, because of the huge outrage that followed, back-pedalled furiously. Some reports stated that he had been misquoted.
This is a favoured celebrity tactic: when you find yourself in hot water, blame the media. Some other reports say that his father Salim Khan apologised for the comments. This is a tactic unique to Salman: when in trouble, retreat and let daddy do the clean up.
