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.
All the posts above from Salman haters clearly show how stupid and illiterate they are and then they call Salman’s fans illiterate . There is something called sense of Humor. If you guys don’t know the meanings than look up in the dictionary or Google it. The article clearly says that Salman said all this in the humorous (joking) way (showed his funny side). Grow up guys. By the way he is way more popular in Hollywood than srk or any other leading actors from Bollywood. He was named 7th most good looking person by US people magazine ahead of many Hollywood superstars. He was the first Indian actor invited in the Winfrey Oprah show (way before Aish. showed up there.) and he did not accept the invitation. Salman’s statue in Madame tussauds was the highest kissed statue for 3 consecutive years even though SRK’s statue was just feet away. The day SRK will be talked about in any of the Hollywood mags then we will talk but now you guys should shut up and find a good rebuttal. And finally doesn’t matter how crappy the movie was but a director from Hollywood came down to Bollywood and only picked Salman for marigold.
And marigold was the biggest disaster ever..
Why salman copied srk’s film dialogue?
Just bcuz now he can’t even speak original dialogues..
He has become a copycat..
If salim khan ws nt there, salman couldn’t have become an actor..
Just bcuz of his father, he is in industry today…
Only Akki and Srk made their fortune on their own…
By the end of this year, only srk will be the man with last laugh..
Hum maantay hain Srk acting salman se achi karta hai.
Aur us k world wide fans salman se boht ziada hain.
Lekin salman na mard nai hai.
SRK IS DEFINITELY FINISHED…..I BET SRK’S NEXT WILL NOT CROSS EVEN 90 CRORES (NETT INDIA)….DOES ANY SRK FAN WANT TO BET????
Tom cruise, Bradd pitt and entire hollywood actors are nothing in front of Salman Khan. Because there is a reason, that all hollywood actors,Tom cruise bradd pitt, etc always doing kissing scenes and sex scenes in his movies,While Salman did not do even a single kiss on screen.
@Amazon: Because he is poof. G A Y
@Tejas you r on fr the bet boy..
@amazon even srk didn’t kiss any of his co star in his entire career bt still his fan following is huge in overseas..
@Heart break kid did you not see mayaan neem saab what srk does.

@ heart break kid… Dude srk did a whole porn scene in maya mamsab. Srk is shown nude in that scene.. Google it and u might find the uncensored version.
@tejas as u mentioned the bet is fr srk’s next flick.. If it crosses 100 crore u will lose and if it cudnt, i will accept that salman is bigger than srk.. Wat say?
