(CNN)The
easiest way to describe Salman Khan to American audiences: Think Tom
Cruise, George Clooney and Charlie Sheen all rolled into one.
Like
Cruise, Khan burst onto the movie scene in the 1980s with matinee idol
good looks and went on to become a hunky major action star.
He
has long been a bachelor, much like Clooney was before he married human
rights attorney Amal Alamuddin in 2014, and has had a string of high
profile, highly publicized relationships.
And
like Sheen, he's had a reputation as a bad boy -- albeit a now reformed
one -- accused of everything from temper tantrums to domestic violence.
But
in sheer numbers, those three actors don't compare to the popularity of
Khan who is considered one of Bollywood's most bankable actors and one
of the world's biggest stars. While Hollywood struggles to get its
numbers up at the box office these days, Bollywood enjoys success and
popularity across Asia, Africa, Europe, the U.S. and Canada from
millions of fans who flock to theaters and purchase DVDs of their
favorite stars.
This week Khan was found guilty of a hit-and-run accident in 2002
in which the actor was accused of running over several men sleeping on a
Mumbai pavement, and killing one of them. Khan, who authorities said
was traveling after a night of drinking, was sentenced to five years in
prison and has appealed the ruling.
The verdict drew sympathy and support for the star from fans and several fellow actors.
