Bollywood's heart goes out to Salman

Actor-politician Jaya told the media: "I am feeling bad... The film industry has invested so much on him, they will suffer loss. After 20 years, they are finding him guilty. But law takes its course... What can one say?" Asked if she sees him get justice in a higher court, Jaya said: "He should... He does a lot of humanitarian work through his organisation Being Human."

Ghai tweeted: "I am extremely shocked to hear Salman Khan being convicted... but also having full trust in Indian judiciary which has many other doors to appeal for final justice... Since he (Salman) is most loved person by industry and people for his human reasons too."

Arjun Rampal felt the law takes its own course and one can't argue it. He tweeted: "But at this point in time I just feel helpless and my heart goes out to Salman Khan and his family. Reason, cause the last thing Salman is a criminal. I feel this is too harsh. I do hope he gets the relief he deserves." Salman's filmmaker friend Sajid Nadiadwala has also left for Jodhpur to be by his side. Nadiadwala had organised a party, but now it stands cancelled, a statement said.
