OMG! Salman’s father Salim Khan REGRETS apologising on behalf of Salman Khan over his ‘rape’ comment!

Mumbai: Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan on Sunday said he had hoped that apologising on behalf of son Salman Khan for his "raped woman" comment would put an end to the problems that surfaced. However, he is upset with how the media has taken the issue to "saturation point". Dad Salim Khan APOLOGIZES Publicly on Salman Khan’s ‘Rape Statement’; Says, ”The Intention wasn’t wrong!” “Normally people apologise to get rid of the problem but I meant it hoping that the problem would be over.
