The notice has been sent to Salman through Punjab and Haryana HC advocate Rajat Kalsan. The lawyer also claims that his insensitive comment has affected her deeply and his client is going through ‘a very troublesome period of psychological’ trauma, ever since the actor made the statement that went viral on social and print media. The lawyer also states that the actor’s comment is ‘solely responsible’ for his client’s mental and psychological degradation.

According to the notice, if Salman fails to compensate the victim with the given amount, within 15 days, the lawyer will be forced to file a civil and criminal case against him. The actor has not yet issued a public apology, however, he recently joked that he should talk less these days, as whatever he says gets misinterpreted. "I will not take much time because nowadays the less I speak the better it is," Salman said at the inauguration of IIFA awards in Spain last week.

Meanwhile, stars like Kangana Ranaut and Freida Pinto have bashed the actor for his insensitive comments. On the other hand, Arbaaz Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kabir Khan have defended him saying that he never meant it in a wrong way. Well whatever his intentions might be, Desimartini hopes that the superstar addresses the matter soon.
