The Bollywood star has been criticised after he told reporters his filming schedule was so tough that he felt like a 'raped woman'. Immediately after he made the comments he realised his mistake and retracted them, but the news had already spread. This subsequently lead to the hashtag #SalmanMisquoted being created on Twitter. Rape is still considered a major issue in India. So does Salman Khan's comments show that rape is still not getting taken seriously in India? A number of listeners contacted the show to share their views with Nihal. (Photo Credit: AFP/Getty Images)
