Salman Khan at his witty best at the India Today Conclave

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made his first appearance at the India Today Conclave and guess what? He not only impressed the audience with his witty one-liners, but had the entire auditorium laughing their heads out.

The inimitable Khan also spoke about the importance of his parents in his life, his quest to become a better person and also urged his fans and followers to serve the society.

Here are excerpts from Salman’s interview..

Super Salman Khan holds audiences spellbound at Conclave finale

Salman’s iconic dance step!

  • On doing a film with a message (like Jai Ho), Salman said “I tried films with messages. Now I send text. They are cheaper”
  • On being asked if the NGO ‘Being Human’ is to change his image, Salman was honest enough to say “We have opened a charitable trust and we try to do good work. You do good work to genuinely feel good or to hide some guilt or a fear or to show off or to change your image. I don’t know for what I am doing this for — maybe sometimes to show off, or do it genuinely or to change my image. But whatever be the reason, I’m doing good work”
  • When asked to rate himself as an actor: “There is no actor in me, at all. I don’t act there. I act in real life.”
  • About the importance of him sharing a good relationship with his producer “I really like those films and they are my family. If a producer gives me a super script and if I don’t get along with that producer, I won’t do the film”
  • Hinting that he might get married soon, Salman said “Now I’m in transit period and I like it. From the age of 15, I did not get a transit period. For the first time, I have such a chance to sigh. I am sighing more since it has been two-and-a-half years. It’s time to stop sighing because soon, something will happen in my life”
  • When asked what he’d be doing at the age of 70, he said “It might be really awkward working with 20-23 year old girls.”
  • That is my personality defect. When change begins to happen, I don’t like it. I am not a bad or good boy, I am the way I am.
  • On how his parents have stood by him and supported him even during his tough times, Khan said “No child would have given them as may problems. I was a naughty kid. They had to hear slanderous things about their son from others — the jail episodes, the cases that have come. If these things would not have come, my father and mother would have looked as young as I look now”

Some of Salman Khan’s one-liners

  • If I stuck to my first girlfriend, I’d be a grandfather by now.
  • Like Vicky Donor, you can have Salman donor. It will be really good. It’s the most charitable thing to do
  • I love kids… but with the kid comes the mother. I don’t want the mother
  • Nowadays all I have is green tea because even if I smell the biryani, I gain weight
  • I only act in real life.

  • It may be true that Salman is not the best actor even it showed in MSK where the 2nd lead Akshay became the main lead but no one can deny that Salman is a good entertainer.
    Salman has his own way and has a good screen presence.He is fun to watch on screen.In fact i loved Dabangg for what it is.
    He may mot be Irrfan Khan or Kamal Hassan but out of the superstars most are average

  • nice..he confessed that there is no actor in him but i believe that he was superb in the role of Chulbul Pandey and Tiger..anyways,all the best for future

  • the statement shows Salman’s height of illiteracy….BY that statement he is clearly proving that he is gay or impotent….He does not know himself what he is speaking….How cone this “Bhojpuri Star” is in bollywood is still a mystery…yeah..his dad is a reason…otherwise he would hv been a labour

  • But sometimes people say Aamir should have get an award for this movie and that.No one can deny the fact that Aamir’s choice of script is very good but in movies like 3 IDIOTS,his acting was average and most actors would have played Rancho very well
    I feel he should have get an award for Ghajini but that year Hrithik Roshan did a better in Jodhaa Akbar
    But this year Aamir will probably get an award for PK and PK will be a CLASSIC

  • Salman started “human being” to cover up the illegal activities he has done over the years and to change his image….where was he before the cases….and “Charity is not for publicity”…..Charity should be low profile… SRK is the first Indian & only actor who got UNESCO award ror charity..why he did nt get if it was genuine

  • Salman donor! ! !lol. .good for salman. .he will get satisfied by himself as he don’t want to be married. .

  • In KWK he said he has never had a GF. But now he is accepting that he has had GFs from the time of a teenager. Hope he will accept that he is not a virgin also some day.

  • Best answer… respect
    On being asked if the NGO ‘Being Human’ is to change his image, Salman was honest enough to say “We have opened a charitable trust and we try to do good work. You do good work to genuinely feel good or to hide some guilt or a fear or to show off or to change your image. I don’t know for what I am doing this for — maybe sometimes to show off, or do it genuinely or to change my image. But whatever be the reason, I’m doing good work”

  • This is the true and most honest acceptance unlike some other actor who complains about not getting a National award and cry like a baby !!!!! Salman Khan is a Rockstar !!!!!!!

  • What’s this? He said he has not had any GF on KWK? Now, he said “if I stuck to my first GF……” What to call him? An oxymoron? Speak up shirtless tapoori fans…Good to hear that he confesses he is not actor…

  • The super human, Salman Khan. The most honest person and sometimes an emotional fool. He has been there to help everyone. Some still remember the gratitude they owe this guy but some crooked personality and his little fans have forgotten what this guy has done. Instead of paying back the gratitude, they have always been bleating against Salman Khan and stabbing his back. Array Struggling ki Time pe Du Waqt Ki Roti, Ek Raat Ki Soonay Ki Jaaga bhi Bahot Hota Hai. And Salman has helped him for years in the beginning of his career. Besides, Salman used to bring him on the sets to introduce him to the film makers…Wah Re Wah, Kya Ehsaan Lota Ne Ki Tariqah Hai?

    @Sakhi, At the time when Salman entered the industry, his father was struggling himself after the split up from Javed Akhtar..Even in his debut film, he didn’t have 2 to 3 songs like deewana. In fact, Salman role’s was a special appearance and didn’t have a song at all. For MPK, turning into an ATBB, made by the all newcomers, was all because of the excellence of the casts and crews. Salim had nothing to do with it. Salman has worked two or three times with his father. Only one film out of it turned out to be a hit.

    But I certainly know how SRK has been in the industry for so long after the series of flop. He called Yash Chop Dad, Yash Johar’s son KJo his partnet, slandering against some people and constantly back-biting, back-stabbing etc

  • Wow!! It is all about Being Human. We love you!

    @Sakhi, you must have been brought up in brothel. Get a life…Poison in your heart not good for society. You don’t deserve any respect. Look at your comment how ill-behaving you are.

  • According to filmfare award, No.1 is salman khan because debut year highest grosser and all time blockbuster, award got filmfare award.No.2 is hrithik roshan because debut year highest grosser and blockbuster, award got debut filmfare award and best actor award.I’m not proof,who is no one,two. just show.. bro

  • Salman khan is the real super star of bollywood he has been in the industry fr more than 25 years he is a natural giver he helps ppl wtout any expectation to he may find in nxt u cn see lots of humility acts even he would tell u bt u cn hear later by others. in 25 long years he has done only 1 Yrf film nd no other big banners even wtout top directors or heroins nd look where he is stand today even his nxt are also first tym director or no other establish or faithful director bt he doesn’t care we know he always be in big league bcz of his fan .Nd we know abt other super stars who work wt top directors or big banners

  • @indicine: Is that so? I didn’t find him funny in KWK. But the jokes he made at this event are really funny.

  • Wow, this was an eye opening article……………….for so long SRK haterz have called him g”y even though he has a wife and 3 children and many alleged affairs and link ups like piggy chops, Kajol etc…….however this bhojpuri is 48 yrs, never married, no children……………………………and now has himself openly admitted that he only wants children but NOT the Mothers/women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow so @hrithik and other haterz, it is U and NOT us who support a g”y star!!!!!!!!!!! And at least in maya memsab which u always use to ridicule SRK he was with a woman! Also SRK is a self made star and wasnt spoon fed industry brats like lallu and tingu who cud just walk out from college and get big directors scripts because of family connnections…………………………………………..SRK like Akki had to work double/triple hard…………………………………………..

  • @arman So rajeshri/sooraj bartaya who gave him MPK, HSSH and HAHK is a small banner? Is David Dhawan a small director?? Is Rakesh Roshan small??? If Salman is non actor and cant act properly can you blame YRF and DP if they didnt want him for a lead role for most of his career? It is not that Salman choose not to act in their movies, its them (YRF and DP) that didnt want an actor of his caliber to be a lead role in their films!!!!!!!! There u have it, now stop ranting how Salman never wanted to work with big banners, it is them who didnt want him!

  • And to all haterz who call SRK lungiwala……………………look at ur towelwala in the first pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • in 25 long years he has done only 1 Yrf film nd no other big banners even wtout top directors so rajshree is small benner,david dhawan small director and what r others subkuch kya me hi kahooga apni akal lagao YRF/DP ka kala chasma utaro ya phir tuwal dance karo salman ki tarah as salman

  • @Triniman : Then accept it Srk stoop to such low levels during his initial days in career. A Real man does not need to show off butt instead he needs to kick others butt which Salman has been doing without thinking about anyone be it Media Reporter or any hypocrite n fool like Vivek !!! FYI… Abhishek Bachchan is a son of biggest icon Big B if all star kids are in industry why AB is smaller star than Aamir or Salman? Why Kumar Gaurav fizzled after one Super Hit movie ? Where is Harman Baweja? What happened to Vivek? Why is Bobby Deol not successful as AK & Salman. It is not a joke to survive so many years in industry while having so much craze n fan following. Srk worked hard no doubt it but Salman & Aamir have to prove themselves double than Srk as they also carry the family reputation. Now dont come up with foolish excuses !!!!

  • @ triniman well said…why people think yrf /dharma only big benner and aditya,karan,kajol,dipika big bcoz srk involved and get successfull…
    Big director and benner gurantee success then why these movie failed..

  • Also Salman has done lesser movies with big banners compare to Srk n Aamir. Take out Darr, DDLJ, VZ, CDI, KKHH, KHNH, KANK, MNIK n see how many Blockbusters apart from CE Srk gave? Take out MPK, HAHK, ETT, Partner from Salman movies ?? He still have Dabangg, Ready & Dabangg 2 !!!!!

  • @arman YRF approached Salman for DARR…but he rejected saying its anti hero….whereas look at SRK ,he became NO.1 doing those villain roles at the starting of his career like DARR,BAAZIGAR unlike other so called actors like aamir(he rejected Baazigar) & Salman (He rejected Darr)…Its because SRK’s acting ability,he is ruling the bollywood for past two decades…KING ROCKS!!!
