Superstar The series of tweets has sparked a national controversy, not only because of Memon’s involvement in the 1993 serial Bombay blasts, but also because of Salman’s own criminal record, when in 2002, he drunk-drove his car over some people sleeping on the pavement of a Mumbai road, killing 1 and injuring 4 others. The actor also fled the scene and years later, claimed that it was his driver who was sitting behind the wheels on that fateful night.
However, this is not the first time that Salman has stepped on the ‘unfavourable’ side of his fans and the politicians as well. It was after the unfortunate 26/11 attacks that the actor had sparked controversies by saying, "Too much hype has been created around the 26/11 attacks because elite people were targeted. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much. Everybody took this up because the Taj and Oberoi hotels were involved."
The actor later apologised for the same and cleared his stand, saying that he meant to point out why such intense reactions weren’t conjured during other times that Mumbai faced serial blasts, including the 7/11 serial blasts in the local trains.

Well, all we have to say is that for Salman Khan, it would be better if he doesn’t use social media to express his opinions on grave issues, and keeps on entertaining us in the form of movies like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, because his ridiculous and meaningless opinions don’t go down too well with anyone, be it his fans or the authorities.
On another note, his latest release Bajrangi Bhaijaan is also facing some legal troubles. Read more.
