The Salman Khan case comes as no huge surprise.
Disappointment, yes. Surprise? No. As KRK so surreptitiously put it, we would
have lost all our faith in money if Salman Khan had been put in jail. The man
we know on screen has gained a reputation for performing logic-defying acts
successfully. Now, he has pulled off a similar stunt in real life too.
The Bollywood superstar could possibly be the only Indian at
the moment to not have to spend a moment in jail despite being proven guilty
and sentenced to imprisonment for five years. Salman got an interim bail in a
matter of hours, and a permanent bail just two days after his conviction, speed
unheard of in the Indian judicial circles. Fame, money, power, support – all of
this undeniably factored in to make Salman Khan an “exception”.
