Salman Khan: Bollywood visibly heartbroken; fans hail the judiciary!

Salman Khan will go to jail today as Mumbai Sessions Court pronounced five years of imprisonment for him in 2002 hit-and-run case. The actor would be taken into custody and he can only apply for bail in high court.

The disappointed actor broke into tears as judge DW Deshpande handed over the verdict. There was a lull in the Bollywood industry as Khan’s supporters and fans called it a sad day.

Here’s what celebs have to say on the sentencing:




Even the sports fraternity was not behind in expressing solidarity with Salman.





However, former police officer and social activist Kiran Bedi welcomed the judgement


Others also followed suit and hailed the verdict.



Salman Khan’s defence lawyers had pleaded for three years of imprisonment and had asked the court to consider Salman’s charity work through Being Human, under which he sponsored heart surgeries of 600 children.

However, the Mumbai Sessions Court didn’t pay any heed. Now, it seems that the 49-year-old actor will have to knock at the doors of the High Court.
