Bollywood "male god" Salman Khan

<b>Bollywood</b> movie superstar Salman Khan was recently sentenced to five years in prison for a drunk driving accident 13 years ago. This is not the first time Salman Khan has faced jail time, having been jailed for a week in 1998 for paying a hefty fine for shooting a national treasure animal.

In 2002, Salman Khan was driving a drunken SUV into a resting pedestrian on a sidewalk, then drove away and killed one of them instantly. Prosecutors prosecuted Salman Khan for intentional homicide and serious injury, and salman was sentenced to five years in prison in the first instance. Salman's lawyer, who also appealed to the Mumbai Supreme Court after the verdict was handed down, said Salman himself was not in the driver's seat at the time, and that the driver who was driving for him at the time had pleaded guilty.
