 "'Roads garib ke baap ki nahi hain': Tone deaf Bollywood supports Salman in hit-and-run case")
Salman Khan was sentenced to five years in jail in the 2002 hit-and-run case on Wednesday. [caption id=“attachment_2230524” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Courtesy: Facebook, Salman Khan’s page.[/caption] The reactions to this verdict can be distinguished into two broad classifications: those who are for the “fair justice” and are glad to know that nobody is above the law and those who are disappointed with the judgment and think Salman is good man who deserves better. It is no surprise that most of the Bollywood celebrities fall in the later category. You can call it personal loyalty or even industry loyalty, but celebrities who have tweeted out their opinion on Twitter have stood in support of Salman. While the likes of Karan Johar, Dia Mirza and Alia Bhatt have admitted that their reactions are emotional and they extend their support to Salman’s family, Abhijeet and Farah Ali Khan have tweeted to say that people shouldn’t sleep on the roads. Abhijeet has gone further to say that he was homeless for a year and still didn’t resort to the streets. Here are some tweets in Salman’s support:
Prayers n strength 4 my friend @BeingSalmanKhan n his family. Harsh sentencing doesn't mean justice. Must appeal. Deeply saddened.

It hurts when your own are punished, even if they are in the wrong. We love you and are standing by you

It doesn't matter what anyone or any court says he doesn't deserve this at any level...will stand by @BeingSalmanKhan no matter what...

Hurts to think of what could happen. We will always be with you. Hope the judge sees the beauty of a human being that Salman Khan is.

However, going by their tweets, Farah Ali Khan and Abhijeet have clearly gone a tad bit overboard.
