In proof that Bollywood actor Salman Khan's verdict is being watched closely not only in India but across the world, hashtags such as #SalmanVerdict were trending on Twitter worldwide, and #WeLoveYouSlamanKhan was trending in neighbouring Pakistan, where the actor is very popular.
Bollywood actors reportedly have a huge fan following in Pakistan, where Hindi films are watched with much enthusiasm.

If convicted, Salman faces up to ten years in jail.
