Indian media defaming me:
Salman Khan
Indo-Asian News Service
London, Sep 1 (IANS) Bollywood actor Salman Khan has said the
Indian media was defaming him by regularly portraying a negative
off-screen image.
"There's a business section that wants to portray everything
negatively so that they can sell magazines or get good top
ratings on TV," Salman was quoted as saying in the BBC Asian
Network's Gagan Grewal show Friday.
The 41-year-old actor has been charged with killing two
protected antelope species in 1998. Again in April he was given
a five-year jail term - currently under appeal - for a separate
hunting incident. He is currently on bail while his appeal is
being heard.
Salman has denied these wrongdoings, saying his conviction was
wrong and the judge sentenced him only because he wanted to make
an example out of him.

"Apparently the judge said that openly," Khan
told the anchor.
"They wanted to set an example out of me... Who knew the black
buck? I mean today because of me, people know there's an
endangered species of deer called black buck, well it's actually
an antelope."
He is also facing trial in a hit-and-run case in Mumbai. One
person was killed and three were injured when Salman allegedly
drove into a group of pavement dwellers in 2002.
