Now that Bollywood actor Salman Khan has been convicted by a Jodhpur court in the blackbuck poaching case, there seems to tough days coming his way.
With the 20-year-old case has got a verdict now, and while the other accused actors Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam were acquitted, Salman was found guilty.
This is not the only criminal case in which Salman’s name has figured. In 2002, he had been arrested for running over five people on a pavement in Mumbai, one of whom died later. He was acquitted in the case in 2015.
Years ago, during a talk show hosted by Farah Khan, Salman appeared with his mother Salma Khan who recalled his jail experience and got emotional.
When Farah asked his mother about the difficult days she has seen Salman struggling with, Salma Khan mentioned the day she visited him in jail. She said, “I can never forget woh din jab main isko milne gayi this Thana jail mein...but I am very happy he’s taken it very nicely. “
Seeing his mother break down, Salman being himself joked about the situation and said, “But if you are thinking Thana (jail) was bad, you should see Arthur road (jail) and Jodhpur (jail).”
Salman Khan might be jailed for six years in the blackbuck killing case under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. On the work front, the actor was currently shooting for Remo D’souza directorial Race 3 and has an upcoming venture titled Bharat too.
A film poster. A turquoise bracelet. A legal notice that has reopened a 28-year-old wound. Salman Khan's most notorious court case is now the subject of a Bollywood film, and he is doing everything he can to stop it.
The makers are not blinking.
A Delhi police officer investigates the disappearance of two teenagers in Raakh, a Hindi-language investigative crime thriller. The series stars Ali Fazal, Sonali Bendre, Aamir Bashir, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, and Rakesh Bedi.
Shroff was on the sets of 'Falak' when he first saw Salman's photographs. He picked them up, walked to Subhash Ghai, and was told no. He walked to the next director anyway.
