I’m really, really sorry: Salman Khan

Actor Salman Khan has apologised for his remarks on the 26/11 attack and insists that they were “twisted” and he did not mean to “hurt anybody’s sentiments”.

“The interview has been twisted. I saw it myself, the way it is coming across on TV, it is sounding insensitive. I was just saying life is equal for both rich and poor, some attacks get more media coverage and some don’t. Why is that? Every human life is important,” Salman, 44, told Aaj Tak news channel.

“Any attack or terrorist attack in the world is unpardonable. A terrorist has no nationality, no religion and no guts. I have complete faith in our intelligence agencies. I’ve always had faith in our police and armed forces.

“I did not want to hurt anybody’s sentiments and if I have hurt anybody’s sentiments then I am really, really sorry,” he added.

Salman invited flak with his comments to a Pakistani TV channel: “Too much hype has been created around the 26/11 attacks because elite people were targetted. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much.”

He also said: “Everybody knows that the Pakistani government was not behind it and it was a terrorist attack. Our security had failed. We have had lot of attacks earlier, and all of them were not from Pakistan. They were from within.”
He later tweeted that henceforth he would record all his interviews to prevent such controversies. He also denounced all terror attacks.

Salman Khan's father Salim Khan has said that his superstar son "should not" have made the remarks on the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and should apologise. Salim also said his son is not "articulate and political" and it could have been a "wrong choice of words".

"Whatever I've heard, he should not have said that. It is wrong... He is not a very articulate person or a political person. It could have been the wrong choice of words," Salim, 74, told Aaj Tak news channel.

"He should [come forward in front of the media] and apologise and he will... He will definitely say sorry and this [repeated telecast of his comments] should be stopped immediately... I'd like to express that we should not spread the [wrong] word and add fuel to fire."

"He should come forward and apologise if he has hurt anyone or their sentiments or the words he used," Salim added.

Salman, 44, invited flak with his comments to a Pakistani TV channel: "Too much hype has been created around the 26/11 attacks because elite people were targeted. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much."

"Everybody took this up because the Taj and Oberoi hotels were involved. The attacks happened because our security failed," he told the Pakistan Express channel.

He also said: "Everybody knows that the Pakistani government was not behind it and it was a terrorist attack. Our security had failed. We have had lot of attacks earlier, and all of them were not from Pakistan. They were from within."

Salman later tweeted saying that henceforth he would record all his interviews to prevent such controversies. He also denounced all terror attacks.

After triggering an uproar with his comments on the 26/11 attacks, Bollywood actor Salman Khan has decided to record all his interviews in future to avoid controversies.

He wrote on microblogging site Twitter: "Every human life has equal value and any act of terror, anywhere in the world is unpardonable. Be it 9/11 or 26/11."

"Next time mein apnne sub interview khud bhi record karoonga, kya bolte ho? Takeh yeh sub controversies nahi ho (from now on I will record all my interviews so that such controversies don't happen)," he added.

Salman said in an interview to a Pakistani channel that too much hype has been created around 26/11 "because elite people were involved".
