Salman Khan's 'raped woman' comment lands him in a soup

Salman Khan is busy with the promotions of his upcoming film, ' Sultan.' Salman is known for his tongue-in-cheek responses to questions and his usual, street-smart comments.

However, it seems like this time, Salman's comments have been taken a tad too seriously than he would have liked it to be. The superstar is not only being trolled on social media but is also facing a backlash for his answer.

In an interview, when asked as to how difficult was it shooting for his role of a wrestler in the film, Salman said, "While shooting, during those six hours, there'd be so much of lifting and thrusting on the ground involved. That was tough for me because if I was lifting, I'd have to lift the same 120-kilo guy 10 times for 10 different angles. And likewise, get thrown that many times on the ground. This act is not repeated that many times in the real fights in the ring. 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. I would eat and then, head right back to training. That couldn't stop."

The part where Salman says, "I used to feel like a raped woman,' hasn't gone down well with many who have taken to social media to voice their ire against the actor.

It's confirmed #SalmanKhan has a foot-in-mouth syndrome. @BeingSalmanKhan needs a PR machinery behind him who vets every alphabet he says.
