Salman Khan has been granted bail in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case on Saturday. While this news has upset a lot of people on social media, Bollywood was overjoyed with the court's decision.

The bail comes as a huge relief for the friends and family of Salman, who was released on a bond of Rs 50,000 and two sureties of like amount today. Sessions Judge Ravindra Kumar Joshi heard all the evidence and granted him bail so he could file an appeal for his sentence and conviction.

As the news of him getting out of jail was announced, the Indian film industry took to Twitter to express their content and delight.

The 'Dabangg' star, who spent two nights in Jodhpur Central Jail, walked out a free man this evening and headed to the airport from where he will fly to Mumbai.
