Bollywood buffs and Salman Khan fans had a black day on April 5th 2018 when Jodhpur Court sentenced the superstar for five years in jail. The judgement came out after 20 years of that fateful night when Salman Khan along with his Hum Saath Saath Hain co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu and Sonali Bendre were out on hunting in a Jodhpur village. After the sentencing, fans were expressing angers at the law on acquitting the co-accused while giving such a harsh punishment to Salman.
