Salman Khan, playing Guest Editor to BT, express himself freely on Bollywood and Hollywood
and Television.....
On Parties
"I used to enjoy attending parties before, but now I make a conscious effort not to go out too often. It's as though whenever I am out, there is someone out to get me. A controversy, a fight, it's as though there was a different Salman Khan at that party or event. You can only take so much of it... so I stopped going out too often. If I do go out now, it's mostly with the whole family. Or else I prefer to chill at home with family and close friends, or just paint."
On Bollywood
Salman Khan has ruled the Bollywood roost for many years now. The actor has given many hits and continues to be among the most sought after stars in Bollywood. But does he ever worry about who's hailed as No 1? "I think, I have gone beyond that whole number game. It has never bothered me and it never will. The 'No 1' tag changes every Friday, depending on what's doing well at the box office. Woh to chalta hi rehta hai," he says.
On Hollywood
Salman Khan admits to having grown up on a healthy dose of Hollywood films. Among his favourites he lists Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Clint Eastwood and James Dean. "I think Brad Pitt is the most talented of the current lot. And because he's conventionally good looking, he's had to work extra hard to prove that he's also a good actor. All thanks to the general notion that good looking people are not very good actors," he said.
On TV
Salman Khan surely is very happy with his decision to do Dus Ka Dum. In fact the second season of this show has proved to be a bigger hit than the first, something that's never happened before. And now BT confirmed from the man himself that he is indeed doing the third season as well. "Yes, I am," he smiled, when asked. He has some more plans for his stint on TV as well. "Someday I'd like to be associated with some show that can bring about a revolution. That can help common man stand up and fight for his rights. A revolution is the need of the hour."
