Salman Khan, who underwent rigorous training for the wrestling film, was heard saying that after shooting one particular scenes he used to feel like a “raped woman”.

SALMAN KHAN HAS BEEN QUOTED AS COMPARING THE IMPACT OF HIS SHOOTING SCHEDULE FOR SULTAN TO BE SIMILAR TO FEELING ‘LIKE A RAPED WOMAN’

Undoubtedly, what Salman said is wrong, the simili (sic), example and the context. The intention was not wrong — SALIM KHAN, Salman’s father

Salman Khan’s recent comment, that he felt like a raped woman when he would walk out of the ring while shooting for Sultan, has severely backfired on him. In a group interaction with the media in Mumbai, Salman said that shooting for the role was rather challenging. “You look like a fraud if you haven’t trained properly. You need to put in those many hours as any wrestler does and that’s what we have done. Now when you are shooting, you are continuously wrestling for six hours. So, if I have to pick up a 120 kg person, and drop him down, I got to do it 10 times. In the wrestling match, it happens once or twice. Ten times from five different angles for six-seven hours, either I am picking up or throwing him or he is picking me up and throwing me. It is like the most difficult thing. When I used to walk out of the ring, it was actually like a raped woman walking out. I couldn’t walk straight. I would eat and then head right back to training. That wouldn’t stop.”

The comparison to the “raped woman” stunned journalists at the event. It was crass and insensitive, to say the least. However, in a few seconds, the actor seemed to have realised his mistake. He went on to say in a rather apologetic tone that he shouldn’t have made that comparison.
