Raj Thackeray, Aamir, Nitesh Rane visit Salman
Mumbai, May 7
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan,
sentenced to a five-year jail term in a hit-and-run case, had a steady
stream of visitors at his home on Thursday, a day before his bail
application will come up for hearing in Bombay High Court.
Among
the early callers was another superstar colleague Aamir Khan, who met
Salman and his family members at his sea-facing home in Galaxy
Apartments in Bandra west. The duo had co-starred in the 1994 cult
movie, "Andaz Apna Apna".
Later in the afternoon, a surprise visitor was Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray.
Congress legislator Nitesh Rane, son of former chief minister Narayan Rane, also went to the Khan residence and met the family.
A
steady flow of visitors comprising actors, producers, directors,
singers, musicians and music directors, some political personalities and
others continued to come and meet the actor. Some of the visitors
included Sonakshi Sinha, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta and Bipasha Basu.
They
are believed to have expressed support to Salman and his family after
he was found guilty in the September 28, 2002 hit-and-run case in Bandra
which left one person dead and four people injured.
However,
details of these meetings were not immediately available as the media
contingent - and hundreds of Salman fans assembled outside - were kept
at bay by his private security personnel.
Meanwhile, support
continued to pour in for Salman on social media networks from various
quarters, including celebrities and commoners.
Salman, who was
granted two days' interim bail on medical grounds hours after his
sentencing by Additional Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande, will make his
bail plea before Justice A.M. Thipsay in Bombay High Court on Friday.
