Salman Khan was embroiled in a controversy after he made an insensitive statement at a press meet recently. The 50-year-old actor invited the wrath of people when he compared himself to a raped woman. When asked about his gruelling wrestling training and shooting schedule for Ali Abbas Zafar's Sultan, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor said that he wasn't able to walk straight and felt liked a raped woman.

While Salman's father Salim Khan took to Twitter to apologise on behalf of his on, there has been no public apology from the Wanted actor. When his younger brother Arbaaz Khan was asked about Salman's rape metaphor, he said that he hopes that his brother's intention wasn't bad. And if he feels he needs to apologise, he will do that.


"There is no doubt that in what Salman said, the intention was not bad. Sometimes you say something out of context but your intention is not bad. But if you become oversensitive over it then you can create a controversy out of anything," Arbaaz told IANS.


"I am sure that Salman must have realised that the comparison he made was not appropriate and for that, if he feels that he needs to apologise, he will apologise. I don't think I am entitled to say that he has to apologise or not," Arbaaz said at the logo launch of his film Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai.However, the Prem Ratan Dhan Payo actor immediately retracted the statement and said, "I don't think I should have" and explained that he found it hard to walk.

"I hope that he would give a clarification as a controversy has been created. People look up to him and he has a lot of following. So if he has made a statement that does not look appropriate or does not sound good to the ears, I think in time he will give a statement," Arbaaz added.

Meanwhile, National Commission for Women has demanded an apology from Salman within seven days.
