RAJ KUNDRA'S STATEMENT
24th July 2014, Mumbai
During a recent press conference for Satyug Gold, I was posed with the question of whether I would
consider acting. I replied with an honest reply stating, "Firstly, who would watch me? Secondly, as a
businessman I would be unaffordable." In context to the same question, I further stated an example by
drawing parallel between the monetary earnings of actor versus that of a businessman. In order to make
this simpler, I said "What Salman (Since he is number one at the moment it was the first name that
came to mind) earns in a year, a business man earns in a month." I further went on to say, "Forget me I
am a small fish but one can compare the top 10 industrialist earnings to top 10 actors in Bollywood and
whilst one gives you more fame the other certainly pays much better. So, obviously no producer would
over pay to get a bad non actor when he can sign a superstar for cheaper."
My statements were then misquoted out of context, causing a lot furor from Salman Khan fans.
Nowhere, during the course of the interview did I pick on Salman Khan, I just used his name as a
reference as he is one of the biggest stars in the country today. My wife and her family share a very
good rapport with the Khan family and I thereby have never meant no ill towards anyone.
