Many Bollywood celebrities have expressed their sympathies for Salman Khan soon after a session court convicted him in the 2002 hit-and-run case.
The 49-year-old actor was awarded five years in prison on Wednesday, reports ABP Live.
Music composer Wajid Ali said: "This is a very sad moment. I am shocked at the verdict. Salman bhai is a simple and real man. I hope he will take it in the right spirit.
"It was an accident which can happen with anyone on an unfortunate day. Salman's name has made this case popular. He paid the price of being a celebrity.”
"Feeling very sad. Will pray for lesser imprisonment for Salman. My sympathy with Salman and his family," actress and BJP MP Hema Malini said.
Actor Shakti Kapoor said he was saddened by the verdict.
"However, a law is a law. This is unfortunate. Salman's family are law-abiding citizens, and they have already undergone 13 years of mental torture. His philanthropic work is well known and he is known to help the needy," he said.
Here is what Bollywood celebrities tweeted on Salman's conviction.
