Here's what other Bollywood celebs had to say about Salman's 2002 hit-and-run verdict:

Hema Malini: Feeling very sad. Will pray for lesser imprisonment for Salman. My sympathy with Salman and his family.

Shakti Kapoor: A law is a law. This is unfortunate. Salman's family are law-abiding citizens and they have already undergone 13 years of mental torture. His philanthropic work is well known and he is known to help the needy people.

Wajid Ali: This is a very sad moment. I am shocked at the verdict. Salman bhai is a simple and real man. I hope he will take it in the right spirit. It was an accident which can happen with anyone on an unfortunate day. Salman's name has made this case popular. He paid the price of being a celebrity.
