Here’s How Bollywood Reacted To Salman Khan’s 5 Year Jail Sentence

The only way you have escaped the news of Salman Khan being imprisoned for jail for 5 years, if and if only you live under a rock, and if that’s the case then even this piece won’t reach you. Which means, all of you reading this already know about the news of the hour, day, week, month and year. Salman Khan is a convict and he’ll be spending 5 years in jail for his blackbuck poaching case.

The verdict, in this case, might be a little too late, 20 years to be precise, but one just can’t be thankful enough for its arrival. The case had a total of six accused and from all of them, only Salman Khan has been convicted while others were acquitted. This includes Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam.

The verdict was given yesterday, and by this our, Bhai has already spent a night in jail and would have to spend another one since his plea for bail has been pushed for another day by the judge.

But that’s not the news, even though media is constantly busy in dwelling one out of it. The news is how fellow actors from B-town are reacting to the news.

By now, everyone who knows about Bollywood is also aware of the power that Salman Khan holds in the industry. This includes his ability to make or break one’s career. He has done it in the past and isn’t ashamed of doing it again, if possible. Which is why more and more people in Bollywood are no less than yes-men when around Salman or talking about him.

In fact, not just movies, even the television industry of the country heavily believes in the power and charisma of Salman Khan for an elevation in their career. Plus, he has shared a fair amount of his career these days, hosting something or the other kind of reality show on the television.

All of this makes up for an interesting Twitter watch in terms of seeing which celebrity had what to say on the verdict given to Bhai. While some blatantly supported him and requested the judiciary to re-think about the decision considering his changed past and humanitarian, others simply came out to trash talk about the laws in India. There were some who thought that 5 years was too long of a time for something like this. Then, there was Rakhi Sawant who managed to find a conspiracy theory of her own in the entire case. Check out all of these reactions over here:

Some might call all of these comments to be mere attempts of being in the good books of Salman Khan, and while it might be true to some extent, there are a lot of reactions that just can be explained.

But, what do you think about the verdict?
