WASN’T GOING TO JAIL FOREVER: SALMAN KHAN

It would be inaccurate to say that Salman Khan’s involvement in the 1998 black buck poaching case hasn’t made industry stakeholders nervous. The tension was especially high given his brief imprisonment last month, while he was in the middle of shooting his next film, Race 3

But it would appear that the superstar is least worried about the case, in fact, he’s been travelling far and wide to carry on with the filming. Recently, at a trailer launch event, when a journalist asked the actor if he was worried about all the money riding on him while he was caught up in court proceedings, Salman responded in his trademark style.

Even before the reporter had finished asking his question, the actor asked, “Did you think I was going to go in forever?”

To which, the reporter replied, “No”, following by Salman quipping, “Thank you, because I was not worried.”

Salman was accused of hunting and killing blackbucks in Rajasthan in 1998 when he was filming for Hum Saath Saath Hain. He was convicted and spent two days in prison before being released on bail.
