Salim Khan apologises for son Salman Khan's rape comment

Noted scriptwriter Salim Khan today apologised on behalf of son Salman Khan after the actor compared himself with a raped woman when quizzed about the grueling "Sultan" shoot.

The "Sholay" writer, 80, said whatever his son commented was wrong.

Salman, 50, had to undergo rigorous training for the wrestling drama and in his interview to an online Entertainment portal he said that after shooting a scene, he used to feel like a "raped woman".

The superstar's comment did not go down well with many, who took to Twitter to express their angst and slammed Salman.

Salim, however, said rather than focusing on his son's mistake people should celebrate International Yoga Day.

"To err is human to forgive divine. Today on Intl yoga day lets not run our shops on this mistake.
