Salman Khan: The Most Wanted Interview
[ 0 ]
(Excerpts from the most wanted interview)
Who are the people who have contributed to your life and career immensely?
The people I went to meet with my photographs before I became someone. They threw me out. I give them all the credit for me being me. Because I didn't have any fire in me when I started out. When
I would step out of their offices I would think, 'One day I am going to show them that I can make it'.
I was not dying of hunger. So it wasn't a question of survival. My father had a Mercedes Benz. I used to drive a Mercedes. I had a BMW. Life was good and there was no shortage of anything in my life.
All the earlier stars before me, apart from Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) and Kumar Gaurav had come from very poor backgrounds. They had struggled. Some, even though they came from rich families, didn't take help from home when they came to Bombay. So they struggled, slept on the footpaths, ate channa and all that stuff. These stories kept circling in my head. And
I thought only if you go through the rough path will you have that fire in the belly and you will work hard. So all those people who turned me out, I turned them into channa and shengh (peanuts) and equated the rejection to sleeping on the footpath. Of course, once
I became who I am, all was forgotten. I've never held anything against them. But just to keep myself going, I said, 'One day
I will show them.'
You stayed AWAY FROM the media. Why are you becoming so friendly now?
(Very long, pause)
Aap ka phone aaya? Aapne kisi se request kiya? Ki mera interview kara do) Aap ka office kahan hain? CST? Aap CST se Bhayandar aayein hain? Main toh idhar hi baitha hoon na? Main toh aapke office nahin aaya? Aapne last interview kiya tha, apki kitni copies biki hongi? Dus guna zyada? Is liye aap yahan aaye, correct? Is liye aap phir se aayein hain. Mera kaam sirf itna hai ki producer ne bola ki picture publicise karo. Aap jo mujhse poochenge main uska jawaab de doonga (You called me? You requested someone for an interview with me. Where's your office? CST? You've come from CST to Bhayandar to meet me. Did I come to your office requesting an interview? You interviewed me earlier. How many copies did you sell? Probably ten times the original figure. That's why you've come to me again. Correct? My only job is to publicise my film because the producer has told me to do so. I will respond to whatever you ask.)
Salman Khan On Shah Rukh Khan
I don't have a Phd on him. He used to be an acquaintance of mine. He's done two-three films with me. We got along fine in the past. He spent a lot of time at home with my family. He still respects my family, my brothers and sisters. The day he doesn't do that it will be different.
