Salman Khan

Without any qualms, I love to proclaim that I am a die-hard Salman fan, and I have been like this as far as I can remember. From your emaciated days to your bulked up shirtless avtaar, I have followed you closely. So much so that I don't get swayed by Sharukh's antics, Amir's perfectionism or Akshay's Khiladi saga. 

I love the Salman that I see on the screen. I like the Salman who in real life tries to help as many as he can. I am in awe with your wholesome personality where you can look terrific, build an amazing body, sing and even serenade leading ladies not even half your age. So much am I enamoured with your on and off screen persona, that I gave you benefit of doubt when you got mired amidst allegations of domestic violence. Somehow, I felt that Salman is innocent! I sincerely wish if I could resonate the same sentiments. Not this time, I feel the punishment is justified!

And the reasons are that driving is a serious business. It involves your life as well as the life of those with whom your mammoth vehicle (in your case) could come in contact on the road. You were a phenomena, a role model that gave inspiration to many. The body building craze owes a lot to you!! With the phenomenal adulation came responsibility. You just couldn't drive back home drunk at the dead of the night. At least of all the people not you, Salman! You could very well afford the services of a driver or a night out in a luxury hotel. Not only you drove drunk, you usurped lives of people sleeping on the pavement. Though unintentional, still if you can't give a life, you just can't take one. It's a heinous offence.

Now be the hero whom I always admired to and take responsibility of the offence committed. Of course, money can sway witnesses and turn evidences hostile but still the fact that you are seeking to appeal for in the High Court is ample testimony to the fact that all your muscle and money power found it hard to sway justice!!
