It is disgraceful to the whole society and not an individual," she added.Salman has faced a lot of flak on social media and from women's rights activists and political parties over his comment.While his father, scriptwriter Salim Khan, apologised on his behalf, the chorus demanding apology from Salman himself is growing.Kangana said everybody should be collectively sorry about the thought process."What Salim uncle says is right, we are all sorry about it. It is not about an individual, we all collectively feel sorry for that thought process."
