Salman is responsible for the lively hood of many people at large and the judgement is too harsh. I hope he gets some reprive in appeal. — Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) May 6, 2015

Prayers for Salman and all families affected by this judgement. God is great. @BeingSalmanKhan . Keep faith

I do feel sorry for the victim and his family and did not say that there should be no punishment. However I feel it should not be maximum. — Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) May 6, 2015
Salman is genuinely a very good human being and he made a mistake. He did not intentionally want to kill someone & now he has to pay a price
— Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) May 6, 2015
But to put him away for a very long time is not something I would want to happen to him bec he is responsible for the livelihood of so many — Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) May 6, 2015
Maybe my opinion stems frm d fact tht he is a friend & I know his family but I will still maintain my stand &pray he does nt serve max time
— Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) May 6, 2015
In more shocking tweets, Farah Khan Ali further went on to compare the verdict to a penalising a train driver for a death that occurred when somebody crossed the tracks.
The govt should be responsible for housing ppl.If no 1was sleeping on d road in any other country Salman wuld not have driven over anybody. — Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) May 6, 2015
It’s like penalising a train driver because someone decided to cross the tracks and got killed in the bargain. #salmankhancase
— Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) May 6, 2015
No one should be sleeping on the road or footpath. It is dangerous to do that just like it is dangerous to cross tracks. — Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) May 6, 2015
Farah then ended the series of tweets by thanking followers for their opinions and abuses.
Anyway thank u for ur opinions abuses et all. Ur always welcome just like I am entitled 2 voice mine.Will pray tht Salman gets som reprieve
