Another actor for whom 2006 was a landmark year was Salman Khan. And not because of his two big releases, Jaan-E-Mann and Baabul. There was another Sallu release this year, Sawaan, which is not even worth mentioning.
Salman Khan will remember 2006 not for films, but for real-life drama. On February 17, he was sentenced to one year in prison and fined Rs 5,000 by a court in Jodhpur for killing chinkara, held sacred by Rajasthan’s Bishnoi community. Again on April 10, Salman was sentenced to five years’ rigorous imprisonment for shooting black bucks in the same poaching incident that dates back to 1998.
The star was sent to Jodhpur Central Jail for three days. His fans showed the kind of backing most only dream of. Many of them waited below his house. On his release, Salman did not disappoint them. He took off his shirt and threw it to the crowd below his Mumbai apartment.
Now, that’s what you call Bollywood ishtyle!
