Salman Khan

Superstar Salman Khan received another setback to his 2002 hit-and-run case, when three witnesses testified in court that they had seen the actor exiting the vehicle that ran over and killed one man and injured four other people sleeping on the footpath outside a bakery in Mumbai’s Bandra area. No matter what the outcome, Salman Khan fans are convinced of his innocence.

Sallu’s fans religiously gather in groups under Galaxy Apartments, just to catch a glimpse of the actor. The Dabangg Khan is often seen waving out to them from his balcony. Most of the fans there believe that the Khan is innocent. Shahi Khan – a fan says, “It is a false case. He is the best of all the stars and he is the biggest social worker.

It cannot be true.” Sonu Sharma from Delhi, “Dua hoga toh bury karenge case. See, he did not do it purposely. Mistakes happen. They are only putting a case against him because he is a star.” chipped in Rahul Kumar, 21, also from Delhi. “Had people like us done something similar, they would not have made such a fuss about it.”

Salman Khan inspires fanatical levels of devotion from his supporters across India, but in a true mark of his charmed life, even neighbours he has angered have not stayed so for long.

Of all Khan’s supporters, the ones who make a daily pilgrimage to his Bandra house are the most devoted. They cannot believe that he might be guilty of running over and killing one person in 2002.
