Mumbai : Cornered over his recent tweets on Yakub Memon’s fate after losing all the possible legal battles, Salman Khan badly needs more friends. He found one in Riteish Deshmukh as Riteish on Friday said that the superstar’s remarks were misunderstood and most of the reactions were premature.
On Sunday, Salman had posted a series of tweets suggesting that Yakub was innocent and should not be hanged for the acts of his brother Tiger Memon, which sparked protests outside his home where police had to be deployed.
Also, outrage on social media and criticism from his father Salim Khan led Salman to withdraw his tweets and apologise. “Every person can have an opinion and should have an opinion. What Salman tweeted was very clear in what he said and with the feedback that he got, he took it back. Most of the people have reacted to the tweets without understanding the tweets. He respected the judiciary,” Riteish told reporters here at an event.
“The only problem with social media is that people react prematurely without understanding and then it becomes a right or wrong thing leading to debates,” he said.
