A while ago, Renuka Shahane was trolled online for her post on Salman Khan, in connection to his comment on rape and the blackbuck case. The actress later clarified her stand by saying that she is not anti-Salman. Speaking about whether she regretted the post, Renuka shared, "I wanted to clear my stand as people often misrepresent facts. Somebody took up what I said related to the judiciary and then put it out of context, which said that ‘Salman’s bhabhi slaps him in a post’. That is ridiculous and we should not encourage this nonsense. There are nuances in what I have written and anybody reading that should know it is not anti-Salman, but my posts are questions that the judiciary needs to ask itself. I cleared my stand but it was not a way to say sorry for what I had written. Today, I would not have done it as I have also changed on social media. Earlier, I would have tried to clarify that my purpose is not to hurt people. I have every right to talk about what is going on around me, even if it is about people from my industry. If associations go kaput because of that, they do. One just has to face the consequences because this is something I stand for and I don’t mind saying it."
