Excerpts of Salman's new Filmfare Interview
Okay, When was the last time you went on a Holiday?
Don't remember.
What kind of places do you like to travel to when on a holiday?
I've never been on a Holiday actually.
Why not?Don't you feel like taking a break?
I've always worked and my whole life is a Holiday....I like this.
What's your Favourite food?
Whenever there is food in front of me,I like it. All kind of food is good for me.
You are a Health Freak and yet you eat everything.There is no strict diet you follow?
I eat right; I work out slightly harder than the rest of them,that's it,
You are the Original Dish for many women.So, whom do you find a Dish?
Hmmm......,I don't equate women with food or cooking or stuff like that.😛
What are your earliest memories of your Childhood?
Smelling my Mother's hand.
What kind of fragrance...What kind of smell was it?
Can't describe it.
Which teacher have you troubled the most in School?
(A long pause) There was Mrs Arghya,my English teacher.
How many times have you been beaten in School?
By Teachers? Every day!
And Friends?
Never got beaten...
So, When did you go Shirtless for the first time?
I don't know about you, but I came Shirtless into this world!🤣
Sure we all do,I meant when did you make your frst Shirtless Public Appearance?
(Long pause,thinks) Hmmm,,,When I was a kid, I used to walk around at the farm and in Bandra Shirtless. All the boys, while playing cricket, football or volleyball or any sport for that matter would be Shirtless.
How many girls have wanted to make you their Bhai?
(Thinks) The Right number.
Who are your 4 AM friends?
My Family. Everyone else is sleeping.
Family is a given, What about Friends?
See, when you have friends na, that 4 AM point doesn't come.So, if you're that close to someone they know when you're hitting the bottom. That is the time when your friend comes and help you and vice-versa. If he doesn't, then you know that you have never been friends anyway. Your prayer should be that your friends should do very well in life so they don't need you.
There's been a lot of speculation about your relationship with Katrina Kaif. I have to ask you once and for all- Is it On or Off?
Has there been.....?Now, what do I say to that? Have I ever said it was On, that I would say it's Off? Or On? Have I ever said that?
Okay, what's the most romantic thing you've done as a Boyfriend?
(A very long pause) Me? (Long pause) Obviously, it's taking me such a long time to think of the most romantic thing I've ever done then there must not be very many or none at all from the usual things that I see people doing- all the Candle-light dinners,yeh,woh and all that stuff - flowers,bouquets,etc,etc. I don't think I must have done that stuff ever.
Are you saying you are not very demonstrative when in love or in a relationship?
Yeah, I mean it's awkward saying I Love You. I mean it's there, if it's not understood that means you didn't understand. If you didn't understand, you don't understand the person.
Do you think Marriage kills Romance and at heart you are a closet romantic that's why you shy away from it?
No, it doesn't kill Romance.I think it enhances romance. I just think a lot of people say it's a compromise etc,etc,.I don't think that at all. I think that Marriage is beautiful and I say that because I have seen my parents together. The need to tie yourself into that commitment is because you're scared of losing each other,scared of the loss. The fact that the need of 2 parties is equal to get into that place is beautiful. And if you think Romance is beautiful then I think Marriage is beautiful. It's a commitment. It's like jumping into water without knowing how to swim. And knowing for a fact that you will survive.
On Farah Khan's Tv show,your Mom said you will make an excellent Father. How different will you be from your father when you become one ?
Not different at all.Same.
Your dogs passed away recently. Have you got new pets?
I've already got 3. I've got Myson back...there's My Love and there's Saint.
How Tech-Savvy are you?
Not at all.
Why not?
Just never had the time to be.
If you could wear a Jacket that made you invisible for a day,where would you go?
Why would I want to be invisible? People want me visible. I don't desire to wear a jacket that makes me dissapear.I wanna appear. I wanna take the blame for what I have done wrong and I wanna take credit for what it...give God the credit for whatever has gone right with me.
I asked you last time,I'm going to as you again: Why don't you let me write a book on you?
There is nothing to write on me.
Oh trust me Salman, there's a lot.
I am an Open Book.
Mr And Mrs Parshuram
