Salman Khan
Salman doomed? Maybe, maybe not
Mixed responses to the actor's latest actions

State your views!
Is Salman doomed?

Sat Sep 28 20:50:00 2002
Name:Matin
City, Country:San Francisco, USA
Your Views:I definitely think Salman Khan should quit Bollywood. The only reason he has lasted this long is because of his contacts and his passable looks. He cant act to save his life. His choice is movies is mediocre just like his performances. Besides his personal life seems to take precedence over his career. He should quit....


Sat Sep 28 20:50:36 2002
Name:dev
City, Country:USA
Your Views:I think Salman Khan should end up in some mental Hospital. After killing Animals, and hurting and harassing Aishwarya Rai, The CCCC Incident, and now killing humans? he needs mental help!


Sat Sep 28 20:54:33 2002
Name:Neo
City, Country:Dallas, USA
Your Views:Who gives a damn of where his career is heading towards, think about all those people he is inflicting pain upon. They sure will cover up this up as well, and he will be free only to get into more trouble and cause more pain to the world in some way or the other. The group of people who beat him up, great job guys!

Name:Basheer
City, Country:Kuwait
Your Views:I agree that Salman Khan going through rough face in in life, he is most misunderstood person on in this planet but recent problems and he is going out of contral I blame Ash for this and man in deeply love with her and he cant live without her, One thing is sure his fans loves him no matter what and Salman will strike back and soon he will be the King of Bollywood


Sat Sep 28 20:21:21 2002
Name:Ahmed
City, Country:Edison, NJ
Your Views:This guy sucks. I don't know how the Indian audiance tolerates such guys.


Sat Sep 28 20:24:35 2002
Name:Gaurav
City, Country:Kolata, India
Your Views:This time also nothing is going to happen to him


Sat Sep 28 20:46:39 2002
Name:Axel
City, Country:Nj USA
Your Views:of course he is doomed. To begin with he was useless and now he proven that he is not just useless he is also imbalanced.Ash is better off than him A lady with so much class she has the worls at her feet.She doesnt need a fool well an imbalanced deranged maniac like Salman.


Sat Sep 28 21:20:23 2002
Name:Ruchik Doshi
City, Country:INDIA, MUMBAI
Your Views:Salman Khan is always known to be an intese, emotional, violent person.He has hurt Ash ,he has strong links with underworld,he recently ran down people while driving in an intoxicated state,...He is emotionally and mentally disturbed.In such a state of mind no filmmaker would want to run the risk of casting him.All he needs a break .He should consult a professional and try to get over his personal problems......He needs to take a break from acting for a couple of years and try to stay awayfrom the media and then make a comeback with venegance.


Sat Sep 28 21:21:30 2002
Name:deepu
City, Country:kuwait
Your Views:he is over..he is such a bad guy that why not arrest him..he is the worst person in the industry..i pray his carrer is finished and he end up in jail


Sat Sep 28 21:22:22 2002
Name:jayyyy
City, Country:pakistan
Your Views:hes gonna bounce back soon!! first of all he doesnt know how to treat a lady especially his own lovE!! and now the car accident! wat a poor guy.. i feel for him now!! but mark my words this movie marigold will change it all!! thats one thing he has! its his last chance! and i think he shud avail it


Sat Sep 28 21:25:42 2002
Name:smt
City, Country:montreal, canada
Your Views:i dont know, his career has taken a plunge since HASSH, his personality ie temper tantrums has been his biggest obstacle in his career graph, his bad vibes with media, with ash, the blackbuck case and now this fatal accident killing a poor pavement dweller how sad when i read one of the victims accounts that this idiot ran for cover to his house leaving the scene and the poor injured to die........how disgustingly pathetic, cruel, ruthless and shameful of him to flee the scene..........its totally unhuman eh!! i read his f**** brother was more worried about their f**** CD player than human lives to them to the hospital............if its my country canada it'd be serious crime of failing to remain on the scene and would have charged accordingly for killing another human. may god punish him appropriately. smt


Sat Sep 28 21:46:03 2002
Name:Roshni
City, Country:New York
Your Views:Hardly has salman ever possessed a talent for acting. he only has a strange charm that attracts people. But as of late, he has been doing things anyone would be disgusted with. He has slit his own arm and refused to take pain killers while getting stitches done. This is the mark of a sick man. But one can indeed pity him. Aishwarya Rai has been shunning him during this bad phase in his career. Perhaps she could try to make him feel better instead of telling him that he's no good. He has enough people like kareena saying that to him. She has said "I don't like salman khan. He is not a good actor." Wow, kareena. Way to make depression go away. People cannot be so inconsiderate. Salman is doomed if he keeps on his path, but with enough encouragement from that selfish ash and his arrogant colleagues, he wil get some inspiration. But the fact remains that he has grown out of the chocolate covered love stories. He could, if he tried, do so much more. Srk has hardly tried to break his romantic stereotype. There is no reason why salman should follow suit. The main problem here is that salman is doing things that makes him seem plainly weird to his fans. They won't stick with him if he continues with his image and kill people along the way. They have alternatives like Hrithik Roshan and Vivek Oberoi who are more appealing both in youthful looks and freshness in the industry. Salman, for heaven's sake, do something!


Sat Sep 28 21:50:52 2002
Name:Pritrham
City, Country:Canada
Your Views:Salman khan should not be granted bail because killing someone is an serious offense and he should at least face life time of imprionsment or death.


Sat Sep 28 21:51:00 2002
Name:Lucky
City, Country:
Your Views:He will bounce back.


Sat Sep 28 21:53:40 2002
Name:SHAHZAD
City, Country:DUBAI,(U.A.E)
Your Views:NO HE IS NOT DOOMED BUT INFACT HE IS OVERREACTING TO THE ASH BEHAVIOUR. COME ON SALLU JUST FORGET IT AND WAIT FOR SOMENONE WHO REALLY UNDERSTANDS U. ABOUT THE CASE WHICH HAPPENED TODAY I THINK SO HE SHOULD PAY BLOOD MONEY TO THE PERSON WHO DIED BECOZ OF HIS RECKLESS DRIVING.BU THIS ALL IS HIS LUCK IT WAS WRITTEN ON HIS PART. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE IS FINISHED INSHALLAH HE WILL BOUNCE WITH THE BANG.


Sat Sep 28 21:54:39 2002
Name:Sushil Thapa
City, Country:Winchester, VA, USA
Your Views:Hard to beleive that an accomplished star like Salman Khan is gone out of bound and gradually pushing himself and his career to the brink of disaster. His recent drink and drive which claimed a life and caused serious injury to several others is another unfortunate twist in his turbulent life. Over the years, he has hogged headlines for all the wrong reasons much to the chargin of his die hard fans.If this is the result of his on and off relation with Aishwarya Rai, then he should reform himself and stop acting like a traunt or brat. Otherwise,he is bound to take a fall from the cliff for ever. If he truly loves Aishwarya then he should become a real life Devdas and not torment her as he has been doing. What he needs to realise is that no more can he drag Aishwarya into things she disapproves. She has climbed to stardom and is one of the most saleable actresses in Bollywood. Of course, Khan a talented actor can bounce back and win back hearts of his fans should he check his emotions and composure and not go haywire. "Marigold" definitely renders him a chance to resurrect his sagging status.Having said that, foremost he needs to get rid of the bad boy stigma and become mentally sound.


Sat Sep 28 22:00:30 2002
Name:bajaj
City, Country:singapore city
Your Views:well is he is really at fault he shud be charged whether or not hes a star or not. if not he should come out of this soon and quick,and its not only him who has a role in the aish case.we have to hear both sides before we can brand salman the bad one. whatever it is, i pray for the best.hes still a v good actor


Sat Sep 28 22:05:18 2002
Name:anu
City, Country:US
Your Views:i dont think he even deserves all this attention. is there anything disreputable that this guy has not done yet? he'll bribe the system and get away with murder as well. he should be ordered to pay up for the funeral of the man he killed, and the hospital charges of the injured. and send money to the family of the dead man if he wants some of his "reputation" back. and get a clue - he was never an "actor" and will never be one. aishwarya was so right to DUMP him.


Sat Sep 28 22:09:07 2002
Name:Srini
City, Country:Somerset, USA
Your Views:salman should be kicked out of the cinema indutry and put him in jail. De deservs it.


Sat Sep 28 22:23:47 2002
Name:raghu diwakar
City, Country:bangalore, India
Your Views:Salman Khan is a nuisance to the society and should be behind bars..a 35 + year old man behaving like this..just not done! Get rid of him.


Sat Sep 28 22:24:04 2002
Name:gunvir
City, Country:washington, USA
Your Views:this has happened before with other richi-rich kids, after a few weeks of hue and cry, they have all gone on to live their lives as before


Sat Sep 28 22:24:18 2002
Name:Shourov
City, Country:Houston,texas,U.S.A
Your Views:Salman Khan has been a grat actor and has produced a great numer of superhit films which makes him even superior than Shahrukh Khan etc.He has given so many Blockbusters such as M.P.K, H.A.H.K, H.D.D.C.S etc These were all blockbusters. Every actor goes through a low phase and Shahrukh had a riduculous period also. Salman`s of hits rates are great compared to other actors.I am sure he will come back...


Sat Sep 28 22:43:05 2002
Name:junaid
City, Country:hyd, india
Your Views:surely he'll bounce back.the media and public should support the actor in this time.even a normal man cannot bear the problem he's having.this time he needs support.in films if the hero doesn't leave his heroin till last they like, in real life if he likes ash to its his personnal matter.just leave him alone for sometime, so he can be cool and bounce back.


Sat Sep 28 22:44:22 2002
Name:Niraj
City, Country:Mumbai/India
Your Views:I think Salman has it in him to survive every onslaught if you see his career.He has always been down but never out.All problems withstanding which are definitely his personal outlook and for that we should respect him and not go by the glossies who do anything for living. One thing is for sure the incidence of killing people and animals,he should be dealt in a hard way as you do for criminals but unfortunately our country will soon forget everything and this brat shall again occupy news. Come on guys there are lots of other thing going around. Just because he is a star do not worship him or put him into news


Sat Sep 28 22:54:24 2002
Name:Kumar
City, Country:USA
Your Views:Why should this moron be spared from justice, I strongly believe, he should be punished and made sure that he pays for the expenses of those injured and compensate them for their loss. But I have no faith in the Indian judicial system that any action would be taken against this guy. Rich people will not get affected no matter how big their crime is. That is life in India. God save the country.


Sat Sep 28 23:00:07 2002
Name:Ravindra
City, Country:Lucknow, India
Your Views:I think it speaks very poorly of us as a nation, that we raise a person like Salman to the level of a star. He has no acting skills whatsover, can't even speak in Hindi properly. On top of that he is definitely not a good person. He's almost 40 and behaves like some kid out of high school. Its disgusting. I would have expected Aishwarya Rai, a woman the nation is crazy about, and revered by the world, to have better taste. I can't imagine why she tolerated (an open secret) physical abuse in a relationship with a guy definitely not worthy of it. He has proven in the past that he cares a damn about animal life. Now he has shown that he doesn't care about human life either. I think the world is a safer place with Salman behind bars.


Sat Sep 28 23:26:21 2002
Name:Vijay Sharma
City, Country:Banagalore, India
Your Views:Nothing will happen. He will be leading a normal life in a matter of weeks. Justice in India is screwed up. The case will go on for a few years, witnesses will turn hostile and the case will be dismissed. Sad really.


Sat Sep 28 23:44:47 2002
Name:Anoop K. Sharma
City, Country:California, USA
Your Views:The Law of Karma states that Cause is effect concealed and Effect is cause revealed. Taking that into consideration it would not be futile to say that this brat had it coming. I cannot shed a tear for him or offer him forgiveness.


Sun Sep 29 00:05:37 2002
Name:asc
City, Country:US
Your Views:salman should be convicted and given imprisonment for a life ... he deserves it


Sun Sep 29 00:16:21 2002
Name:P.Shah
City, Country:India
Your Views:This fool should have been behind bars long ago - the world would have been a safer place. I think his claims of threatening calls are just a cover-up for his underworld connections. He thinks he's fooling everyone. Ash should have dumped him long ago - the fact that she stuck with him for so long shows how gullible she also is. This guy is going down. Maybe he'll do better in Hollywood where. America's loss is India's gain!!


Sun Sep 29 00:24:34 2002
Name:khurram raja
City, Country:islamabad,pakistan
Your Views:i think sallo should concentrate on his carrer rather than on his affairs.the number of hits he has to his carrer is far less than the no. of his affairs.


Sun Sep 29 00:27:56 2002
Name:Irfan Makki
City, Country:Oshawa, Canada
Your Views:I think its just one of those bad patches that almost everybody goes through. Salman is no exception. His massive star status makes him more notable. There are millions of people who have much more problems than Sallu, but the fact that nobody gives a damn about them is that they are not stars. Being in his car with other people doesn't necessarily mean that it was him driving the car. And as for having just one film in hand, that's not quite the case. He has Tera Naam, Dil ne jise Apna Kahan and Boney Kapoors next wth Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. But even if he has one film, so does SRK. And Amir Khan doesn't even have a film in hand. Salman is a big star, he looks out for good scripts. He won't do just any film. But one thing is for sure, he has to leave Ashwarya for good. She has proved to be a bad omen for him. He has to get over this relationship otherwise he might end up killing himself.


Sun Sep 29 00:30:07 2002
Name:ritu
City, Country:india
Your Views:I dunno whats up with Salman and Aishwarya...........and i have no interest in their lives either.They are grown up,matured individuals and should try to behave like one.


Sun Sep 29 00:51:42 2002
Name:Bhavik Sanghvi
City, Country:Mumbai.INDIA
Your Views:Salman needs to seriously rethink about his career & most importantly his family reputation.It is strange that the 7th SEXIEST MAN IN THE WORLD & the only one in India,is still a single & nobody is willing to marry him.As for the career front,he will be remembered forever for few of his films but more for his controversies.


Sun Sep 29 00:59:00 2002
Name:sahana
City, Country:bombay,india
Your Views:Somebody needs to knock some sense into Salmans head! he needs to behave more responsibly! However, going by previous instances of equally irresponsible 'stars' going scot free after killing innocent people, looks like the drunk driving episode will not affect him! Well ,if salman has a conscience( which I seriously doubt) he should compensate the victims and in future be a responsible citizen by driving carefully! as for his affairs with aishwarya et al, i dont think educated people like me , care a damn!


Sun Sep 29 00:59:52 2002
Name:M.A.
City, Country:united kingdom
Your Views:its high time we stop patronising the nauseating attitude of our so called "stars".and it is also high time that our judicial system bring these people to book for the crimes they commit.nobody is indispensible.


Sun Sep 29 01:16:36 2002
Name:Suraj
City, Country:Pune
Your Views:Salman is thinking himself as a great. We people must stop to see movies to see or stop relese of is films unless the the 4 people gets compensation.


Sun Sep 29 01:23:15 2002
Name:HAMZA KHAN
City, Country:VANCOUVER,,CANADA
Your Views:salman khan is the best of the best and he will surely returan.. one khan to a nother...


Sun Sep 29 01:34:15 2002
Name:Xavier
City, Country:Georgia, USA
Your Views:he's doomed, the guy had a fine lookin girl (Ash) as a girl friend and he through it away. I guess when your famous and rich you think you can do whatever you want. Good thing there are actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, and Hritik Roshan around.


Sun Sep 29 01:35:30 2002
Name:Kyla
City, Country:USA
Your Views:He is doomed as an actor as should be the case!! Who in their right mind would be willing to support such a dastardly person who is very abusive to women!! (Hint: Wake up and smell the roses this is the 21St Century!!) There should be no room for such control freaks to get support in the form of movies, endorsements,etc., if he does get the support of the film industry and Bollywood in general, then the public at large has a moral duty to boycott all of his movies, products endorsed etc., to let the producers/directors and others know that they will not be willing to tolerate such behavior!! When will the conservative people of India learn and especially women that they have rights equal to if not greater in some measures than Men!!!!


Sun Sep 29 01:46:24 2002
Name:Mehaboob
City, Country:USA
Your Views:India is the only country where a criminal like Salman (amongst others) gets away with repeated criminal acts. That he was released on bail shows how corrupt the Indian system is. Fleeing from an accident alone would have cost me 20 years of jail in the US. Salman's other violent acts and constant breaking of the law exposes the criminality of India and the movie industry and also shows that India is a crap country since it allows someone like Salman to go on as though nothing has happened.


Sun Sep 29 02:15:56 2002
Name:Jimmy Mehra
City, Country:Washington d.c, USA
Your Views:I think Salman Khan may be down but not out. Usually hollywood-bollywood flick don't do much to a star's career(ala monsoon wedding etc). Salman is very talented when it is used properly(like Chori Chori Chupke..)..


Sun Sep 29 02:18:57 2002
Name:Srinivas Sitaram
City, Country:Boston, USA
Your Views:Who cares.......I feel sorry for the people who were injured by Mr. Khan, his career was never anything to write home about, he was always an also ran according to me. I hope Mr. Khan atleast has the decency to pay for the medical treatment of people whose lives he has ruined.


Sun Sep 29 02:33:33 2002
Name:jack atlas
City, Country:jamnagar, india
Your Views:of course, he is doomed!! this should have happened at least 5 or 6 years back. after all what sort of a dame would have the guts to still work with him? leave this trivial thing, who will still go watch a movie in which he plays the protagonist? to my mind, not even the most hardcore fan of his will do that........luv.....jack


Sun Sep 29 02:54:24 2002
Name:DesiAwaaz
City, Country:Detroit, USA
Your Views:I feel that he should be behind bars since we have to teach these people in high position or celebs that law is equal for everyone. And Salman has done things in the past that should be taken under consideration.


Sun Sep 29 03:02:57 2002
Name:Cheri
City, Country:London,UK
Your Views:well he is going through really bad luck. I think it is all beacause of the blackmagic put by Aishwariyas family. Salman need to have some pooja and prayer performed around him.


Sun Sep 29 03:10:22 2002
Name:Jaswant
City, Country:LA,USA
Your Views:I think that Salman has made a mistake which has resulted in negative results. Hopefully he learns from this and move in the right direction. Since his breakup with Ash, he is not in sync with life or his films. Good Luck to this wonderfull actor. May God give him courage to deal with this.


Sun Sep 29 03:33:20 2002
Name:ashok
City, Country:Canada
Your Views:He is good guy..needs emotional support..which is turned downed by aishwarya(because of her selfishness..otherwise why she loves him first and then ask him to wait for years together)..he need support and the best possible way is to get him married..this should be done with the help of his friends and amily..he will definately bounce back...!


Sun Sep 29 04:24:06 2002
Name:Tony Khera
City, Country:Vancouver, Canada
Your Views:Salman is old news. He's made a mess of his life and career, and it has nothing to do with age. He could have easily moved onto more mature characters the way of Anil Kapoor et all, however his egotistical nature, overbearing arrogance, and uncontrollable temper have led his life into an irreversible downward spiral. Sad to see, quite frankly, as many had grown to like the guy.


Sun Sep 29 04:25:25 2002
Name:Marie
City, Country:Canada
Your Views:As far as the Ash/Salman relationship goes. I have no sympathy for either of them. As for his drunk driving and killing a human being then yes Salman needs to get help fast before more people get hurt including him and his family.


Sun Sep 29 04:31:54 2002
Name:desiguy_usa
City, Country:NewYork,USA
Your Views:He is Ruined the day he started his relationship with Aishwarya Rai.As a matter of Fact,Girls taller than him have always proven bad for this brat,take the example of Sangeeta,Somy,Shilpa and now Aishwarya.well if he still wants to be out of Trouble he should now sober down otherwise pretty soon he would be behind bars like his buddy Sunjay Dutt.Mend your Ways Sallu miyan...


Sun Sep 29 04:42:26 2002
Name:Geeta chopra
City, Country:Canada
Your Views:He is done, finished. He will not bounce back, if I am making a film , why would I wanna sign a person who is not even a good human being, forget about being a professional or good actor.


Sun Sep 29 05:00:09 2002
Name:Nehul
City, Country:Bombay,India
Your Views:He should be hang to death for such driving. If he was in US he would have been sentence to death or life behind bar. Pur police is department is also junk box so he will get away with money & other power. sucker should be kicked nicked on road & hit by stones..


Sun Sep 29 05:17:21 2002
Name:Shezy
City, Country:USA
Your Views:Well I accept the guy is little massed up and he needs to straighten out his life if he wants to stay in the loop. I do believe that he is a decent actor who has loss his focus with all the crap he have been involve in. What he gotta do is separate his personal life from his career, I mean he should really think of dating some one outside the film industry, from now on. Any way I don't think that he is doomed or something even after incident as he still have that one film (Willard Carroll's Marigold) you are talking about and I say if every thing goes right, this one movie is enough to bring him back with a bang....... Any way I feel really sorry for the people got injured by the stupid act of our Dum Khan. He should really quit drinking.


Sun Sep 29 05:30:37 2002
Name:S Ramesh
City, Country:Atlanta, GA
Your Views:He has killed a person on the road by driving his car under influence of liquor. He needs to be in prison


Sun Sep 29 05:32:44 2002
Name:Pai
City, Country:Singapore
Your Views:He will bounce back. Rs 950 for bail, a couple of dinners at 5 star for key guys, and everything will be forgotten. We are talking as if Khan is now 18 years old. He is just too young to be grandpa, thats about it. Dont shed tears if his career hits rock bottom. He does not deserve anything better. I wish he was hit black and blue by the crowd on streets. And as a bonus, the buck killing case in Rajasthan will now be forgotten as well. Poor man's life in India is not even worth a Rs 1000. Our courts have proved that.I cannot imagine he can be let off on a bail for Rs 950.


Sun Sep 29 05:33:12 2002

Your Views:He is DOOMED.... such people should not be allowed to walk the face of this planet...


Sun Sep 29 05:33:53 2002

City, Country:vancouver, Canada
Your Views:He is just another man to be treated the same according to the LAW. And don't we have anything better than sensationalise such trivial things.. You guys Got better things to look at!!

Your Views:salman needs help. he is a fine man on screen...see him in...HDDCS. he should get marrid so his wife will calm him down. he will be serious and responsible...god help him


Sun Sep 29 05:37:03 2002
Name:Lakshmi
City, Country:Seattle, USA
Your Views:A rich Indian film actor with plenty of connections is never doomed. People innocently connected to them may be doomed. But not Salman.


Sun Sep 29 05:40:34 2002
Name:sri
City, Country:India
Your Views:who cares whether he is doomed or will he bounce back...YOu have to be ashamed of yourself to care about so called idols like Salman,puru raj kumar. people will talk for a while and forget every thing like they did in salman's previous cases.


Sun Sep 29 05:41:46 2002
Name:ri8zz
City, Country:australia
Your Views:salman should be put in jail as any aother local guy and tried properly .he should be sacked


Sun Sep 29 05:42:22 2002
Name:Vinod
City, Country:San Jose, USA
Your Views:He's an absolutely spoilt brat who has absolutely no respect to other people's lives. He was caught poaching. Now he caught man slaughtering. I am sure he will get away with both given the way these things get covered up in India. Wish he was here, he would have been put behind bars.


Sun Sep 29 05:49:45 2002
Name:geeta k.
City, Country:delhi india
Your Views:Every Indian citizen's life should be equal in value. It is clear that Salman did not mean to kill and the whole thing was an accident. But he has done something wrong and he should face the consequences under the law. I am sure the law will protect him and also protect the man he has killed and others he has injured. The jury will decide. Let the system prevail and here is an opportunity for the legal system to stand the test in India.


Sun Sep 29 05:52:09 2002
Name:MLTR
City, Country:Wichita, USA
Your Views:The father of all showmen, Raj Kapoor, once said that publicity, whether bad or good, is always desirable. As long as people are talking about you, O mighty Khan, thou worry not! Salman Khan has never really been in the top bracket as far as hit-generating heros are concerned. One may argue that he has been a part of many a blockbuster in the 90s (HAHK, KKHH, HDDCS etc.). Though that is true, he hasn't really been credited for "giving" those hits. The reason? C'mon guys, the hunk ain't here to act....just to dance, fight and of course, to strip! And despite not giving as many hits as SRK or Aamir, he still is very much in the limelight....'cos he is the bread and butter for the scribes. Be it Ash, black bucks, underworld or bashing media personnel, he is always hot property. And in that sense, he is beyond the plain bread and butter...he is cinnamon bagels and rasberry cream cheese! Will Mr. Khan continue to churn out hits.....when was "he" churning out hits in the first place?!!! He was either a part of a multi-starrer or luck just shined upon im...that's how he "gave" hits! But will he continue to be front page material? Sure. He has at least five years of fame left in him. By hook or by crook, he will continue to haunt us! In conclusion, I hope Salman continues singing, dancing, fighting, clowning and whatever else he wishes to do except emoting...'cos when he starts emoting, by God, the public starts wondering what on earth is he doing in cinema(prime example : the graveyard scene in HDDCS). Cheers!

Your Views:No, it might be a planned thing , if there were someone on the footpath it is govt's responsibility to provide the living space. If someone risks his life and by covering himself sleeps on a dark road a bus crossing over him can not be responsible, and if someone looses control and accidentally not intentionally rides over its not his fault at all. In this case anyone can be paid by underworld to risk his life to halt salman's reputation as it may be a way because he is having police protection.

Your Views:Film stars are always treated above the law in India. If Sanjay Dutt can roam freely after being part of the bombay Blasts in 93 then what Salman has done is very trivial. Salman will end up paying 5 lakhs or so the victims family and everyone will shut their mouth. There is no land of law in India if you have the money. Mera Bharat Mahaan

He is a prime example of an insolent and arrogant megalomanic. He should be put to justice and made to pay for his misdemeanour in such a way that he is brought down to earth and his inflated ego is burst. God knows what Aishwarya saw in him, but now that she has realised her mistake, I hope she sticks to her decision and keeps this ruffian out of her life for ever.

It is something like quicksand. The harder you try to get out of it, the more you get sucked in. I believe his success has led him to believe that he is different or larger than life, but I also believe that it is possible, that things are simply out of his control. So I am ambivalent. Let us not rush to judgement. Let him be, hopefully either things will change for the better for him or he will change for the better. That's my two cent.

For good or bad, one needs to follow it. There are no exceptions. Salman seems to be a person who wanted to be an exception. His questionable behavior started early in life. I wish his family had sought some sort of medical help to control it. I do feel it is the end for him as far as films are concerned.

Just because he's a celebrity and has the money doesn't mean that he should be able to get away scot-free. He should also be made to pay the full treatment costs for the two people who were injured. The blood test (to ascertain whether he was driving under the influence of alcohol) should have been administered right at the time of his arrest, and not hours later. It's about time Salman Khan was made to realize that like everyone else, he too has got to bear the consequences of his actions.

Does it seem appropriate to ask if "Salman will Bounce Back" when there probably is a family grieving the death of a loved one? "Bounce Back", what a term to use ! God, put some heart into people and some brain into the media. Not just in India but all over. Why am I disgruntled with the country that I am born in? Could there be a better reason than to say that it is now full of morons? Morons that own newspapers and TV stations. Morons that run the parliament and rule the nation. Morons that are technically brilliant but dumb asses in empathizing with the co-creature's misery! Some one that owns a news site/paper or TV, be true.

They already concocted the story that he was not driving, inspite of a police being witness to the accident. He might never be punished for this, but atleast should compenstate the injured/dead innocents.In a way, salman is already paying , to a miniscule extent and deservingly so, for being what he is : by not getting what he "needs" (as quoted by him) the most, Ash.

Your Views:These numerous actor/actress/directors and personalities are enjoying so much of publicity that it has somehow adultated them. The eceipent of this adultation has been those who are their so called fans/followers/admirers. But. on the contrary it is really sad to see these people act in such a irresponsible manner. If they themselves do not refrain, success getting to their head, the public should stop terming them as heroes because they deserve to be called villian in their real life.

Your Views:Is the Survey 'whether Salmankhan doomed' appropriate at this time??? I think it should be to find out opinion poll how much 'Salman sh'd be punished',whether any justification is there in letting him off on bail, how much truth is there in the police statement that he fled thro' the rear dood when they went to arrest him. If opinion survey is conducted for this, I am sure 90% of the prople would vote against.

According to press reports his money power has helped him in getting out of all crimes.All the cases against him be immediately heard by the Judges instead of prolonging for years togther. All the Maharashtra politicians are under this thumb.The sexi advt.in pepsi is horrible and how such advertisements are allowed by the Govt.His connection with Under World should also be expedited.

We put them on a pedestal so tall that they are unable to see the ground. Sachin Tendulkar is also a star (a far bigger one at that, with international fame), from Mumbai, and see his commitment to the country and people.

Our law enforcement system is quite malleable when it comes under heat of big names or big bucks (not black bucks!!). But good for the media I guess, maybe you'll be talking him to him a year later how he heroically put behind all his troubles and became a brand new man.

What has our judiciary system come too. No one should be above the law. He should be tried for Murder, be given the strictest punishments of all. The fact that he is a Star or has tons of money should not be an issue for the Police and Judiciary to put him away once for all.

Your Views:I fervently hope Salman Khan bounces back- he should. It is a fact that he's got into a very unfortunate spot now: causing a fatal accident. He has had resounding successess at too young an age, he is very good-looking, talented and has a sense of humour. Known sources also say he is generous and caring not- withstanding his short temper and passions. As for the press badmouthing him,it is simply because he refuses to talk to them- and as for his suicidal emotions, the girls in his life neither want to belong to him nor let him go. He is also surprisingly naive, unlike certain other 'big shots' who, despite unacceptable activities, are able to cover their tracks cleverly. The law of course will have to take its course, but may Salman come back wiser, serener, stronger.

Anyway, a better way to use the net may be put up a message board to help those families, who lost or had their members seriously injured.

Your Views:There are a lot of people out there who share in the good and the not so good qualities of Salman Khan. His being rich and so in the Indian set up - powerful - thus taking law and order for granted is nothing new to us Indians who see this all the time. His being rejected (not suprisingly) by Aishwaray Rai and his retaliatory tactics, direct or indirect by trying to attract attention to his hurt self are also typical immaturities that we macho (even with an average height of 5'6") Indian men undertake under these circumstances. Having said that, his talent, his looks and his work-outs to maintain those looks are also nothing unique to him. If that is the case then why are we wasting our time pondering over whether or not he is doomed. Even if he does bounce back, that will certainly be to his credit but again nothing unique. We all try and overcome problems and difficulties in our lives and try and move on. I think the more pertinent question is: will he be taken to task by law for his misdemeanors - as major as ending lives - of a most precious species and of an endangered species, not to mention those poor men who may have to live with faulty limbs for the rest of their lives and not be fit enough to support their families adequately. As if the system being against them already was not enough. Salman's indulgent and miscreant behaviour in attempts to underscore the feeling of rejection or his material status can not be justified as an excuse in the eyes of law and that sympathy or idolatory factor should not be thrust on the public for consideration of his image in any way. In fact, I fail to understand as to why someone as distinguished as Vir Sanghvi had to waste his time and potent writing abilities in trying to assess the difference in how middle class has treated the cases of Salman Khan versus Sanjay Dutt. Maybe there is something to be read between the lines in that article - perhaps something about the Indian middle class psyche - that my petty mind cannot grasp. The Indian middle class - I can tell you, because that is what I am - is as impotent as any middle class anywhere in the world. It is only the poor and/or the rich that go out and do something radical. We middle class people are too busy trying to ensure a cottage, a car, a good school (not education) for our children and if we snatch anytime from our so called busy lives we relish in dinner table discussions about how bad the situation is with practically everything around us. We talk 'intelligently' write articles like these about world and local affairs and worry where all this is going. But when it comes to the matter of action we have nothing to offer and that is what we pass on in the form of education to our children -be ensure material security and not bother about the fate of the poor or fortune of the rich. Our envy about the freedom of sorts enjoyed by the rich and the poor does sometimes inspire some of us to try and break the mould, but how many succeed in embracing the streets for what it may be worth and not carrying the middle class mentality to the palace that we may have acquired. There are some very serious questions to be considered if we want to make a difference and Salman Khans future is certainly not one of them. Let us start by trying to live without any prejudices for the rich or the poor and pass that on to our next generations if we want to attack those questions/problems.

He should be punished for his arrogance this time. His career i think is ofcourse in the rock bottom now.

Ok?"!! If the media, (and unfortunately only thence) the legal system and the victims get their minds in order ... of course Salman is guilty and therefore doomed.

Your Views:salman has to grow up. He acts like one rich spoilt brat. And he is such a person who indeed gets into trouble created for wrong reasons rather than getting into trouble supporting good reasons. I sincrely feel he should be shot and thrown out of film bussiness, I caannot take any more nonsense from him. I think India had it with him. Bye salman, go to Afghanistan, or pakistan, just leave us in peace. Those are the two places where Indians wouldn't go.

Your Views: Salman as I, understand is an extremeley generous & kind man, who goes out of his way 2 help total strangers. .. Salman is a talented actor,whose most movies have been a commercial success,but he hardely received credit for any of his film's success, be it 'HUM AAP KEY HAIN KAUN'or any other movie? But it is also obvious that this man has either conscious or unconscios need to punish him self. These repeated encounters with law or contversial involvement with several actress, doesn't appear 'simply an accidents'? To me he appears to be a massochistic man,who needs to be in psycho therapy, if he really wants to help him self. One also wonders why his own family has not realised it so far & has not help prevent him, from these self distructive behaviors? I, honestly believe that at this stage in his life, no one including Salman himself should worry about his film career, I, wish Salman Khan some peace of mind & a good health.

The only regret is that history proves that with money power, one can get away with murder.

It has all the makings of a tragedy and it looks like he doesnt have proper family or professional support. The fact that his career is going downhill adds to all of his helplessness.

His attitude is even worse than his acting and its about time he learned a lesson. He probably won't be going to jail, but hopefully he will soon be put out of his misery by the mafia who he is "hiding" from.
