He was voted the seventh-best-looking man in the world and the best looking man in India by US’s People magazine in 2004 — but Salman Khan has maintained his distance from Hollywood, and says he has his reasons.
The Bollywood star unleashed his funny side when asked about the reason at an event organised by Indo-American Chamber Of Commerce (IACC) Wednesday.
“All my friends who have gone to America, they don’t even want to come back for a holiday, wonder why. I am an actor, those guys were the ‘sensible’ ones, educated – engineers, doctors, scientists. These guys went there and made a lot of money, respect,” he said.
“Me, I am giving Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, all these guys a chance. Otherwise…poor guys,” the 46-year-old said here in a humourous way.
Salman also targeted Hollywood films.
“Amazing movies, they make anything look good. Like for example the names I took, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise. We just go on emotions and heart. We overdo anything, I mean guys like us also look really bad,” said Salman.
He wrapped up the response with his arch-rival, superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s famous dialogue from “My Name Is Khan”: “I mean my name is actually Khan and I actually am not a terrorist.”
Besides Salman, actress Nargis Fakhri was also present at the event, where Tata Consultancy Services was formally honoured as the overall best Indian Company operating in the US at the 8th Indo American Corporate Excellence Awards.
Yeh lallu ki aukaad bhi nahi brad Pitt Aur Tom cruise sey compete karney ki.
Apne aap ko kich mahan samajhra Harrami.

First of all u it are so dumb that u forgot salman khan has given 5-6 atb, whereas Pitt and cruise do critics films, if salman was in Hollywood Pitt and cruise would not even get 1 film they would be cleaning toilets, just because Cruise jumps from burj Khalifa and Pitt dates Jolie u illiterates think they are god, fools like @Ramesh, @zeba, @aita don’t now that salman makes film which people love whereas these two just make critics happy, so yh if salman was in Hollywood they wid literally be at home making their wives work for money
salman ko yahan bhi SRK yaad aa gya….
koi apne baap ko kaise bhool sakta hai…
SRK—–baap of every damn actor in this country….

Salman is dreaming 4 hollywood. Whereas srk has hollywood fans. Kim kardashian says she loves srk s movies. Leonardo dicaprio is doing a film with srk. Jacky chan loves srk personality. Kristen stewart and robert pattinson loves ddlj. James cameron loves srk acting Mnik. Angelina jolie introduce by srk in iifa.etc. Etc. King is king
Srk fan following is larger than tom cruise. Srk oso done better business than tom ‘s lion lamp.
salman really better than tom or brad pitt……its just that some indian movies like bodyguard , ra.one etc spoil our film’s quality…..but really speaking salman is greater star than cruise or pitt bcoz he also got his statue installed at maddame tussauds & also was the most kissed statue in2008 ,2009,2010!!!!
SALMAN U ROCKKK MAN!
Agar salman hollywood film karne lage toh hollywood ka ek bhi actor nahi bachega.kyun brad pitt or tom cruise salman ke look saamne kuchch bhi nahi.

Lol lallu toh tum log ho, u guys r jealous of salman success, he is become big day by day, and let me tell u this, pay attention, Kim kardashian was offered a role against salman and shantung but Kim said she’s wants to work wiv salman first, check out google, second Jacky cgan and salman khan are wer going yo do a film together which was one of the sequels to armor of god but he backed out due to dating, also salman has worked wiv ali larter and salman khan fan are more than Pitt, cruise and srgay. U people have to accept this especially mentally challenged people like @Ramesh
Haha..LOL at Salman…but nice to see him copying SRK’s MNIK dialogue..
SRK’s net worth is $600 million….no one’s even close….even Johnny Depp$350 million..Tom Cruise$250 million and Leonardo Di Caprio $200 million….SRK is the the biggest superstar of the world (BBC AND NEWSWEEK DECLARED)
