Bollywood never expected Salman Khan to get convicted in the two decade old blackbuck poaching case, but he did. The Jodhpur Court found him guilty and sentenced him to a five year jail term. Salman had to spend two nights in jail, before his legal team could manage to get him out on bail some time back on a surety of Rs 50000.

As Salman Khan spent two days behind the bars, many of his friends and colleagues came out in support of him like Jaya Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, Varun Dhawan, Daisy Shah etc. Some of them called him innocent while others blasted the law for being 'harsh' on him.

We don't know what to say for Sonam Kapoor. Of course, she has to come out in support of Salman Khan, who has been close to her and her family. If she had to forsake him, she should have done that years ago, like others in Bollywood, when he was implicated in the hit-and-run case and the blackbuck poaching case. In short it comes to this, when it comes to friendship and justice - what do you opt for?
