The 50-year-old actor had courted controversy after he compared himself to a raped woman in an interview when quizzed about the gruelling shooting of his upcoming film Sultan, drawing sharp reactions from all quarters.
"I will not take much time because nowadays the less I speak, the better it is," said Salman, in a jovial mood, here while addressing the inauguration of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards.
The actor is yet to apologise for his comments despite many political parties and National Commission for Women (NCW) demanding a public apology for his rape remarks.
At IIFA, the Kick star will perform in the gala night beside his cross-border drama Bajrangi Bhaijaan being one of the front runners at the award nominations this year.
The award ceremony, which has travelled to several continents over the past 17 years, will mark its 17th edition this year in the European city, which is hosting the three-day event.
