Salman Khan stumped by court query

Bollywood actor Salman Khan was on Wednesday left perplexed when a court in Jodhpur asked him about his caste. After some thought, he said: “Hindu and Muslim”.

Khan pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in an arms case being heard at the Jodhpur court.

Before recording Khan’s statement, Chief Judicial Magistrate Anupama Bijlani asked him his name, father’s name, profession and other details to mention in the court’s form.

Khan answered everything, but got confused when the court asked about his caste.

He gave a puzzled look to the court as well to his counsel and bodyguard and after a few seconds someone from the crowd suggested he say Muslim. But he said “Hindu and Muslim”.

Khan told the court that his father is a Muslim and mother is a Hindu.
