Actor Salman Khan has replied to the notice issued by the National Commission of Women (NCW), but has not apologised for the statement in which he compared being exhausted after shooting to be like feeling like a ‘raped woman’, according to a news report.
The comment had been made at a group press interaction during the promotions for his upcoming film, Sultan. In response to a question on the hectic shooting schedule for his upcoming film in which he plays a wrestler, Khan said, “It is like the most difficult thing….When I used to walk out of that ring, it used to be actually like a raped woman walking out.” Realising his folly, Khan immediately added, “I don’t think I should have” and proceeded to say, “It feels like the most difficult….I couldn’t take steps. I couldn’t take steps.”
