Actor Renuka Shahane, who played Salman Khan’s beloved bhabhi in the superhit Hum Apke Hai Kaun, has shared some interesting thoughts on Salman Khan’s acquittal in the blackbuck, chinkara poaching cases.

Taking to Facebook to share her views, Shahane posed some serious questions about the issue. She wondered why only Salman was charged with the killings when Saif Ali Khan, Amrita singh, Tabu and Sonali Bendre were also present during the incidents.

Somehow while the ‘mor’ was ‘naaching’ in their ‘hivdas’ they wanted to shoot some endangered animals. And they did & ate them too. But did they? Out of all only Salman was charged for killing a black buck & a chinkara. He also served time for the same in Jodhpur jail. No charges were framed against the others.

Shahane lashed out against Salman on no uncertain terms, wondering about the ‘big bucks’ involved.

The case carried on & on & on as our cases do for two main reasons 1) Having big bucks (sometimes even black bucks....different from the Black Buck who passed) or 2) Not having big bucks. Salman of course falls in the 1st category of big bucks ( I don’t know their colour & we should not be racist by commenting).

Shahane also asked how the judges decided who actually killed the endangered animals, and now that he has been adjudged not guilty, who would pay for the mental torture Salman went through.

1) Who killed the Black Buck & the Chinkaras? 2) Did the driver kill them? 3) Did nobody kill them? 4) Do judges decide according to Buckworth-Lewis method? ( What? Er...it’s Duckworth-Lewis?) Sorry! 4) Who will pay for the mental torture that Salman has had to go through now that he has been declared not guilty? 5) Doesn’t the nation want to know the truth? ( preferably very loudly)
