Actor Salman Khan, who is in news recently over his comments on Sultan training session in an interview given to a leading newspaper daily, has reacted on the issue.
The actor, while inaugurating International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards 2016 said in jest that he should speak less now. Salman Khan said, “I will not take much time because nowadays the less I speak the better it is.”
Salman Khan, earlier, while speaking to s daily commented on his difficult period while shooting Sultan and compared himself to a raped woman. The actor had said, “When I used to walk out of that ring, it used to be actually like a raped woman walking out....I don't think I should have (pauses). It feels like the most difficult....I couldn't take steps. I couldn't take steps.”
The remark made quiet a stir in the country and many political parties as well as National Commission for Women (NCW) had demanded an apology for the actor’s comment. Salim Khan, his father has apologized on twitter on his son’s behalf.
Undoubtedly what Salman said is wrong, the simili, example and the context. The intention was not wrong.

Although few Bollywood personalities spoke on his comments, many chose to remain silent. Now, indirectly, the actor has spoken on his rape remark, it seems.
