Celebrities react to Salman Khan verdict on Twitter

Bollywood was brought to a standstill after a Mumbai sessions court declared a landmark verdict in a hit and run case involving actor Salman Khan.

the judge while dismissing the contention that Salman's driver was behind the wheel, held him guilty of driving drunk when the accident happened.

Soon as news broke of the verdict, colleagues from the film fraternity took to Twitter to express their solidarity with the actor.

Alistair Pereira gets 3 years for accident that killed seven people. Salman Khan gets five years. Paying a price for being a celebrity?
