The last two days have been really excruciating for me.
I have received a communication from Mr Salman Khan. There I have been instructed to remove two blog posts that I have written about him.
Those articles have been removed from this blog.
Here’s a public apology to Mr Salman Khan for writing two blog posts that he didn’t consider appropriate.
I am taking a break from writing on this blog till I am in a proper frame of mind to write again.
I am really sorry.

Maybe you shouldn’t write things that are not entirely true and with an extreme bias. And perhaps you should re-read what exactly you were accusing him of.

If Salman Khan can make a well connected journalist take down articles, we can only imagine how much the poor, friendless cop was harassed.

You has to agree that in the last article you were sellective in a negative way. You excused Mr.Patil ( a well trained man ) conscious abscond from justice and work,telling that it was because he was just human…was expected…and the court should understand. And keeping away the rest of the story, you gave an idea that Mr. Salman Khan, because he is working and gaining some amount in those days is culpable for that…
You knew what would be the reaction for the post, not a surprise…
But is to appreciate your decision, it shows that you are conscious. Really hope that one day you acquire your dream job,to become a bollywood journalist. Keep trying.

If he got to you the way he got to Ravindra Patil… it’ll be a crying shame. Take care of yourself. We’ve already read every word of your report. Salman and his sycophants are wasting their time and money.
Plus your well worded apology only shows what a crazed man he is. His entire family (all losers and hangers on) needs the money he brings in.

I’m sorry you had to go through a pressure akin to what Mr. Patil faced. Clearly (and probably smartly), you have chosen to back out at this stage.
Hopefully, people can stop idolizing scum like him.

oh dear – dADA, that was one of the most shared blogposts – even my friends and colleagues who dont watch cinema were horrified, and even those who thought Salman Khan was God were shocked.
But we definitely dont want you and others to also suffer the same fate as that poor driver…
Easier to write about the vamps and molls (as long as their mafia boyfriends dont come to haunt you and remove them blogposts too!!!).
Please please Find out where Lakshmi Chhaya, Jaya Malini, Shakeela, Leena Das, Prema Narayan etc are hiding,) Our minds wont know any peace till you share this with us. PLLLLEEEEEEASE!!!

Friend,
I know it’s very hard( to the extent that words may not capture it well) but let’s not do dis-service to Patil’s martyrdom by giving up. This kind of bending back attitude is what’s pushing our nation into club of failed nations such as our neighbors. Fight back, seek support, connect with me and other bloggers privately. We can fight these goons together.

I haven’t had the opportunity to read your blog, but if Salman Khan didn’t like your blog, then he should have commented about it in his blog(does he have one?) or sued you.
What does he have on you that is so damaging for you to remove your posts?

You really don’t need to be sorry. He is a villain in real life. You showed us the real face of him. So, you are a real hero for the country.

Hey! Hold your chin up and be brave. Hope you are doing well, and will be back to writing soon! It’s sad you had to delete your post, but don’t stress! You have your well-wishers, who may or may not be of help right now. I was fighting some personal battles a while ago, I found this helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LVQ8rTNQks It’s Om Vakratundaya Hum chants (youtube it, if you don’t click on links from strangers). I don’t know your religion, but I assumed a Hindu faith because of your name. And no, I am not propagating my beliefs.. I was just sharing something I found helpful. I hope it reaches you, and I really hope you are well.
