Salman Khan is the latest to join the bandwagon of celebrities who have taken to blogging. The first and the second post on his blog basically has Salman tell about himself with lines like "All my decisions are based on my instinct and some people think that I am too moody and cynical" and "I hate formality and behavioral rituals. I like to be direct."
The third post is refreshingly different. It's all about his fans and the junta of our country. This is what the star wrote –
"The third thing that really tilted my decision in favor of anchoring 10 Ka Dum is that the entire range of questions and answers were based on a sample survey. Even the simplest of the questions reveal glimpses of the mysterious Indian temperament. However, the greatest temptation to the show was direct interaction with common people.
We stars thrive on adulation and love of the common people and yet we get few chances of meeting them. It's really a thrilling experience to meet common people. These are the people who elect politicians and create stars. They are also guided by their instincts. Probably this common factor, of instinct, has created tremendous emotional rapport between my fans and me. My contemporaries are highly educated & accomplished people and are very articulate. I am a simpleton in comparison. I know masses love me for what I am and I need not project an image for establishing any rapport with them.
I realized that 10 Ka Dum would give me an opportunity to meet real people. I have been watching faceless and nameless people all my life and now I have a unique chance to meet people- real people with names, addresses and definite identities.
The soul of Hindustan lives in them. I can feel that meeting people will purge me of a number of things and I am sure I will be able to rediscover myself in an altogether different light. Every single handshake will vibrate in my thought process for a very long time to come.
Heart has its reasons for all that you do…to know more be with me."
