Actor Salman Khan who was at the Sessions Court for the hearing of the 2002 hit-and-run case was apparently praying during his hearing

Clad in a printed blue shirt paired with denims, Salman Khan appeared at the Sessions Court around 10.30 on Tuesday morning. The hearing started at 11am sharp and even as witnesses identified him, Salman appeared very calm and composed.

Even though many star-struck fans - including cops, advocates and members of the general public - were busy clicking his photographs, the actor, who was accompanied by his bodyguard, Shera, and one of his close friends, patiently sat through the court's proceedings.

A little later, his sister Arpita Khan joined him in the court. It also looked like the actor was silently praying as he sat with his hands folded when the proceedings began.

Says a source, `Salman seemed to have a bad throat and he did fiddle with his bracelet out of nervousness. But for the most part, he was calm during the hearing. Some cops and the actor's bodyguard tried their best to stop fans from photographing the actor.`


Eyewitnesses say that a woman advocate even requested Salman's bodyguard to call her as soon as her the star's hearing was over as she wanted a photograph with the actor. Other fans, who kept clicking the star's photos, were then asked to delete the same.

Among those present was Salman Khan's diehard fan Pranita Fulsagar, who works as a back office assistant in a Pune firm and had come all the way to Mumbai to get a glimpse of her favourite actor. Fulsagar apparently attends every hearing of the actor.
