NEW DELHI (AP) ? Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has caused a public uproar by telling reporters that shooting his upcoming movie was so grueling that he felt like a raped woman. The actor's analogy struck a painful chord in India, where sexual violence against women is rampant but was largely unmentioned until just a few years ago. The National Commission for Women this week demanded Khan apologize for using a rape analogy while speaking with reporters last weekend about his role as a professional wrestler in the new film "Sultan." If he did not speak up, he would be hauled before the state-appointed commission to explain, it said.
