Not surprising, considering how scared his mother was when he was jailed for culpable homicide in 2002.

The actor, who had recently been sentenced to 5 years in prison for allegedly killing 2 blackbucks in 1998 while shooting for Hum Saath Saath Hain, was granted bail by the Jodhpur Sessions Court on Saturday. On reaching his residence in Mumbai, he was greeted by thousands of his fans from all over the country, who had been camping outside his residence for days, just to get a glimpse of the actor when he returns.
His ecstatic fans started bursting fire crackers and danced to the chants of “Swag Se Karenge Salman Ka Swagat” as the Dabangg actor reached his residence in the Galaxy Apartments in suburban Bandra.
The actor will resume shooting for the Remo D’Souza-directed third instalment of the Race franchise this week in Mumbai. The unit hopes to complete the film by April-end.
