The defence wants to make an appeal at the earliest as the High Court break will be out of session soon.

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Good, I'm glad! He ran over homeless people asleep on the footpath because he was driving drunk, killed a man in the process, tried to pawn it off saying his driver was behind the wheel and paid off witnesses to recant their statements...it's about time he pays for his deeds. I don't feel sad about it one bit.

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Justice served

He is a drunk murderer

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

That's true @khattichic (Although I can't help but feel sad .. Salman Khan fan here). The crimes he committed actually deserve a stricter verdict.
Drunk driving, hit and run, one person killed, another lost his leg, lying in court, trying to blame his poor driver.
I don't understand why they waited 13 YEARS though!

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Its all about setting an example. I wonder there are how many deaths by hit and run and police don't even care to show up.

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

One can be a fan of his acting. He may have some talent there.

His philanthropy and other things he does are part of an image makeover since this incidence. It would have served him better had he turned himself in after that incident, instead of doing all the drama.

Its not over yet though. The appeals process will take a long time.
@Pisiform : setting an example..true...but then so what? Its not like they framed him for it.

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Never liked him. He's always had a terrible reputation. It's just been swept away by his movie image and charity work (which he created when he was arrested after another case went sour).

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

I have very mixed feelings about this. On one side, i feel like what he did at that point in life, drunk driving and killing someone, he deserves what he got, even if it is so many years down the line. Then on the other hand, ever since that, he's kind of turned over a new leaf, has done some much humanitarian work, does charity (Being Human, his brand) and what not, that no i feel like everyone deserves a chance to start over. BUT again, he has to pay for what he did; killing someone is no small thing. I dunno, I've been trying to avoid watching this bit of news all day. :/

Referencing the only Salman Khan movie I have seen an eon ago, jail mein his cell mate will be like "aaja shaam honay aaai, mausam ne li angdaai "

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

This is news to me. I always thought he was the calm collected Khan out of them all.

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

If an ordinary person can get prosecuted for killing people with or without intention, then I don't see what special immunity a Bollywood actor has. In fact it's good that he's going to jail, atleast he can raise some type of awareness that crap like this isn't forgiven in the eyes of law, regardless of who you are.

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Why the hell the whole Pakistani media is going crazy about him? I mean yes many of us like his films but kia wo inn ki phupi ka beta hai jo aise pagal ho rahe hain...dash dash dash!

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Khotay da puttar is a gali? compare to all the language being used on the forum, this needed editing?

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

Not a fan of him. However, I do have sympathy for him and his family...cuz even if one deserves it...it's obviously a painful situation for everyone involved. I read comments from members of the Bwood industry and friends of Salman in support of him....and man...were some of them pretty dumb. More emotion than sense. :/

Re: Salman Khan sentenced to 5 years imprisonment

yes it is a gali

i dont go through each and every thread on the forum. however i am very much responsible for mine and do take notice of "anyone" posting anything around as such over here
