Salman Khan's 'felt like a raped woman' comment draws outrage and support on Twitter

In an interview to Spotboye Salman Khan said that training for Sultan, where he plays the role of a wrestler, left him feeling like a ‘raped woman’. Speaking about his shooting schedule, the 50-year-old superstar said, “When I used to walk out of the ring, after the shoot, I used to feel like a raped woman. I couldn’t walk straight.” Furthermore, in the same interview he termed women to be a “vice”. As expected, the statement got him a lot of flak on social media.

Salman Khan compared his shooting schedule to what a "raped woman" feels like. Is that worse than Lata-Sachin jokes, Bollywood?
