Salman never had the need to become actor, he has been a star from the get go. That kind of acceptance from audience will not let the craft of actor to thrive and improve. Mixed blessing.
No need to over react. My comment was more in terms of his stardom, popularity and success. Acting is subjective, so you may find him a great actor but I don't. I have grown up watching his movies and always found him a very mediocre actor, but he has that certain charisma that overpowers everything i.e. the story, acting, screenplay etc.
Same is the case for Salman. He isn't a great actor too, nonetheless shines even in his crap masala movies.
Even, Salman I think was much better in 90's when he wasn't a superstar yet. Now he has turned stony.
Just my POV.
