The controversy was triggered when, in an interview to a magazine, Khan used the rape analogy to refer to his gruelling shooting schedule for his latest film. “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,” the actor had said.

The NCW had issued a suo motu notice, asking Khan to tender a public apology within five days or risk being summoned to the NCW office. The notice condemned his “objectionable, offensive and irresponsible comments with respect to the dignity of women”. The five-day period ended on Wednesday.
