Who is this actor who peed before a woman journalist?
Several ghastly stories from Salman's past have suddenly been flooding several social media sites.
Controversy's favourite child Salman Khan has been receiving a lot of flack for his ‘raped woman’ comment during a ‘Sultan’ promotional event. The insensitive comment has unearthed several ghastly stories from the actor’s past that have suddenly been flooding several social media sites.
We all know that Salman had a ‘bad boy’ past, but a few incidents narrated by Bollywood insiders, have revealed a grotesque side of the actor.
Sachin Kalbag, Resident Editor of a leading daily, put out a series of tweets describing how ‘a famous actor now in the news’ behaved badly with a lady film critique. He narrates an incident where the actor urinated in front of the journalist, to take ‘revenge’ for her bad review on his film. Although he doesn’t spell out Salman Khan’s name in his tweet, it is hard not to suspect the actor.

(6/6) That was the actor's "revenge" on a female film critic and reporter who had the "audacity" to not like his movies.

(Addendum) The said film reporter and critic, rightly, walked off. Her editor supported her decision.

An excerpt from author and journalist Mayank Shekhar’s blog on Salman Khan, is also doing the rounds online. It reveals a disturbing encounter that a female journalist had with the Bollywood ‘hero’.
I’d just heard about how filmstar Salman Khan had insisted he drop a journalist back home after a long interview. It wasn’t too late in the evening. She didn’t particularly fancy a chivalrous ride. But he wouldn’t take no for an answer. He’s a bit of a brat like that.She gave up. They drove together. She found the spot where she needed to be dropped. He insisted on driving her right up to her building’s gate, asked her to specifically point out the floor she stayed in. “Now I know where you live,” he told her. Sweetly. “The interview I just gave you? Don’t publish it.” By all accounts the piece never saw the colour of print. - Mayank Shekhar
Several fans expressed their outrage over the actor’s remark. Many have even stood up to question the Bollywood film industry’s sudden silence on the same. Kangana Ranaut and Nawazuddin Siddiqui recently voiced their outrage over the actor’s comments and apologised on behalf of the film industry.
