I think he was always this way...he always proclaimed i am the best....
he never had qualms about admitting that he was more of an entertainer than an actor and he could dance at anyone's wedding for money...
He has made sweeping statements like when i came to Bombay i told myself one day i will own the city...
this is how he has always been...
the media has played a large role in starting this big fight b/w him and AB...
I believe his wife is fed up of his weird sense of humour and keeps advising him to keep his mouth shut!! 😆
I remember her telling in an interview long time ago...he has this sense of humour that ppl dont understand...e.g. when he met Madhu Sapre for the first time he greeted her with.." Oh Madhu Sapre...kam kapde..."...
So he has never been the politically correct kinds...he ahs this devlish sense of humour and I can understand that a lot of ppl dont appreciate that!
