Salman Khan and controversies go hand in hand. Salman Khan once compared himself to raped woman while describing his experience of filming Sultan. His co-star Anushka Sharma was rather disgusted with his remark and called it very insensitive.

In an interview with Film Companion, Anushka said that her first reaction was to find out it was true. She even said that it was rather insensitive, but now when she looks at it today, she feels that celebrities are responsible for using their words wisely as a public figure.

Anushka reportedly had revealed that the felt that she didn't even know Salman Khan and the words like 'rape' could not be used like this. It was rather insensitive.

The controversy churned in when Salman Khan told the press that, when he used to walk out of the ring after the shoot, she used to feel like a raped woman. He couldn't walk straight.

This comment invited massive backlash from the netizens. Salman was called out at social media sites for being so casual about using a word, like rape, in everyday conversation. Kangana Ranaut and many other people had also criticised Salman for his remark. Anushka Sharma and Salman Khan had worked in a film titled Sultan.

The movie was a super hit with its storyline and songs also hitting the right note. Anushka had also played the role of Aarfa, a female wrestler in the film who later marries Salman's character and loses their child due to medical complications.
