Salman Khan & Shilpa Shetty Casteism Row: Fresh Application Filed In Mumbai’s Bhoiwada Court

It seems there’s no stopping to this controversy. A new application has been filed against Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty for passing a derogatory comment against a particular community.

An application has been filed in Mumbai’s Bhoiwada court for making casteist comment in a TV show while promoting Tiger Zinda Hai.

The Kick actor had used the word ‘Bhangi’ as he referred to his dancing skills during a promotional event for Tiger Zinda Hai in a TV show. Whereas Shilpa had used the word to describe how she looks at home. The application is filed under sections 156(3) of the CrPC seeking FIR under section 295 of the IPC and section 3 (1) (s) of the SC / ST act.

Earlier, even film analyst Komal Nahta too was summoned for the same. After the first complaint was lodged, Shilpa Shetty had tweeted, “Some of my words from an interview in the past have been misinterpreted. It was never said with the intent of hurting anyone’s feelings… I apologize if they have. I’m proud to belong to a country that boasts of diverse castes and creeds and I respect each one of them.”
