Rape remark: Pooja Bedi feels there's nothing wrong in Salman Khan's comments

Amidst the uproar over Salman Khan's 'raped woman' comment, actress Pooja Bedi has come out in his support as she thinks there was nothing wrong in what the actor said.

The 46-year-old actress took to her Twitter handle to send out her message, saying,

If @BeingSalmanKhan's intention was 2 use the term rape to describe something that shatters someone physically and emotionally, is it wrong?

Is @BeingSalmanKhan controversy justified? If I say I fee FAT as an elephant will @PetaIndia file a case? is India getting OVERSENSITIVE?

 Her other tweets read,

agreed it's not the best simili, but if 2 @BeingSalmanKhan rape is the most brutal physical experience anyone could experience, is he wrong?

As educated & sensible people we need 2 calmly see how much of this "protest" against @BeingSalmanKhan is for political gain&Media TRP!

Another person to come out in the 50-year-old actor's defence was his Yuvraaj director Subhash Ghai, who claimed the actor's comments were misrepresented.
Though Salman made the comments in English, Ghai claimed it was a "mistranslation" and blamed it on the actor's "poor English" and said he was "just a child."

Interestingly, shortly thereafter, Bhai found himself in a soup when the NCW and the BJP asked him to apologise for his comment. His father Salim Khan came up with an apology on behalf of his star son and said that his statement was wrong but not intentional.

The entire fiasco began when the Dabangg actor during his recent interaction with a leading webloid shared that he felt like a "raped woman," while portraying the role of a wrestler in his upcoming film 'Sultan'. 
Some have, however, termed it a miscommunication.
