It is not just the high number of rape incidents, but the inappropriate remarks about rape and rape victims uttered routinely that contribute to what is called India’s “rape culture.”
However, an increasingly vigilant media and civil society, boosted by the power of social media, is no longer sparing anyone, including Bollywood bad boy and megastar Salman Khan.
Over the weekend media event to promote his new movie, Khan made an offensive rape remark, triggering outrage. The 50-year-old actor described the challenges of playing the role of a professional wrestler: “During those six hours of shooting, there’d be so much of lifting and thrusting on the ground involved. That is the most difficult thing.” Then Khan added: “When I used to walk out of that ring, it used to be like a raped woman walking out.”
