Day after verdict, Raj Thackeray, Aamir visit Salman's Mumbai home

A day after superstar Salman Khan was found guilty of all charges in the 2002 hit-and-run case, MNS chief Raj Thackeray and fellow actor Aamir Khan visited the actor at his Galaxy Apartments residence in Bandra.

Salman was sentenced yesterday by a Sessions court. His lawyers appealed to the Bombay High Court and Khan has been granted interim bail until Friday, when there will be a fresh bail hearing.

The Bollywood superstar is certain to file an appeal, but it is not yet clear whether the court will allow him to be free, or whether he will begin to serve some part of his prison sentence immediately.

The 49-year-old actor, who has appeared in nearly 100 Hindi-language films, was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder and driving under the influence of alcohol after crashing his SUV into the American bakery in Mumbai, killing one person and injuring four others.

At one point, the Bollywood star's driver took the blame for the accident, although the judge refused to believe his testimony. The judge determined that the actor was solely responsible for the deadly incident.

He had recently been filming a new movie in Kashmir.
