Salman Khan, who is back after the shooting of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ in Cuba, on Friday came out in support of his fellow actor Saif Ali Khan, saying that media should have waited for his version and dug out the facts before running what was carried on television, Zee News reports.
“Even the press yesterday was all for the other guy. They didn`t even bother to ask what happened to Saif. Did Saif got wacked first or not? We should have waited for Saif to come out and say what he had to say,” Salman told reporters after he was asked to comment on the incident.
“We are actors and we have been in the industry for the longest time. Saif has been in the industry for 18 years. We knew the guy,” added the actor.
Salman is the face of the History channel and was attending the unveiling of TV 18`s Big initiative.

The latter alleged that Saif abused and assaulted him and his father-in-law and filed a complaint at the Colaba police station, the actor said he was provoked to do so.
