Salman Khan shying away from media? Actor to skip Bajrangi Bhaijaan promotions

After going through intense media scrutiny recently, Salman Khan has decided to stay away from the limelight for some time. The actor will apparently not promote his home production, starring Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty, or his next, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, to avoid facing the media.

Owing to the recent developments in the 2002 hit-and-run case, Salman thinks that the media will invariably ask him about his court hearings and the sentence suspension if he is part of the promotional activities. 

uniel Shetty (father of Athiya) and Zarina Wahab (mother of Sooraj) had visited Salman last week after the court verdict. Since they have entrusted him with the responsibility of launching their kids, it’s likely that they know about the actor’s decision. Kabir Khan, the director of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, has also been informed about the actor’s stance.

Setback for Salman Khan

In a setback to Salman Khan, the district and sessions court in Jodhpur on Thursday rejected his revision petition for re-examination of five witnesses in a case of violations of the Arms Act.
Jodhpur District and Sessions Judge Manoj Kumar Vyas while upholding the decision of the chief judicial magistrate refused to interfere in the subordinate court’s decision.
Khan through his advocate moved an application before the CJM court on April 22 demanding re-examination of five witnesses.
Counsel for the actor said that after three eight-year-old applications of the prosecution were allowed and four witnesses were examined a few days back, the scenario of the case has changed.
However, the application was dismissed by the CJM court on April 23. Khan had challenged this order by way of filing a revision petition before the district and sessions court.
Replying to the arguments made by Khan’s advocate, the public prosecutor alleged in the court that actor was trying to delay the verdict. He raised strong objections on the petition.
“We will examine the decision of the court as soon as we get a copy of it and may avail an appropriate legal remedy,” Hastimal Saraswat, advocate of Khan, said without commenting on the verdict.
Khan and a few other Bollywood actors are accused of poaching blackbucks on the midnight of October 1-2, 1998, during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain.
Khan is accused of carrying and using illegal arms and also of carrying arms with expired licence. A case of violation of provisions of the Arms Act was registered against him.
