The news of Salman Khan’s arrest broke the internet literally everywhere yesterday, given the star impact the actor holds. Having his fans in every nook and corner of the world, the outrage for Salman Khan’s arrest was heavily seen at the social media as well.
Salman Khan has been sentenced to jail for 5-years for a crime he did 20 years ago. On the 2nd October in 1998, Salman Khan was accused of killing endangered species; two blackbucks in the Kankani village located in Jodhpur.
The law takes its course. Can’t argue it. But at this point in time I just feel helpless and my heart goes out to @BeingSalmanKhan and his family. Reason, cause the last thing @BeingSalmanKhan is, is a criminal.I feel this is too harsh. I do hope he gets the relief he deserves.

Pakistanis Shared their Two Cents on the Matter As Well
It's funny how you think it's justice sending Salman Khan to jail for 5 years for killing an animal while people who kill and rape humans like animals are roaming free on the roads! #SalmanConvicted #BlackBuck #weirdworld

LOOOL
Irony is that #SalmanKhan killed the blackbuck during the shooting of Hum Sath Sath hain but seeing as all the others are not put in jail, i guess hum ab sath sath nahi hain.

The Pakistani celebrities, however, had some different views they wanted to put forward while showing their support for Salman Khan.
Pakistani Celebrities Who Have Previously Worked in Bollywood Shared Their Concerns That Sounded More Like a Protest!
Here’s What Mawra Hocane Had to Say
In a world with no “NO” human rights, a great human being is being punished for killing an animal umpteen years ago under animal rights. Bash me all you want, but there’s something completely wrong about it.. mind you such human beings are our saving grace! #SalmanKhanVerdict

And Here’s Humaima Malick
I have witness the religion that he belongs to which is called humanity. Today is a sad day @BeingSalmanKhan you are a bigger person than all of us. Respects for you always and forever.

Imaan Mazari, A Woman Who is Never Afraid of Voicing her Opinion No Matter How Big or Small the Individual She is Commenting On Is, Gave a Much Needed Reminder to Those Pakistani Celebs Who Were Supporting Salman Khan!
Here’s what she tweeted upon reading Humaima Malick’s tweet:
Have Pakistani celebrities completely lost their minds or are they really just this ignorant? The flood of tweets paying respect to a CRIMINAL are disgusting and completely unnecessary. He may be a lot of things but to express respect for a convicted criminal is a new low… https://t.co/IpnPUni0KO

What’s wrong is wrong and what Salman Khan did was wrong; the law, however, took it years to announce the sentence, which makes people think this was more of a conspiracy against a minority in India. However, justifying the way the Pakistani celebrities are is downright wrong.
Pretty Much Sums It Up
On one side , most of indians are bashing Afridi.
And on the other side, Pakistani celebrities are becoming chachaaa of SalmanKhan.
