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..
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.
Salman Khan unbuttons and shows off his physique to the audience!

@yash Thanks!
Dude u must b kidding ur self it is really well known the fact of hw big rajshree or David dawan in fornt of Adiy or yrf n darma or karan johar I jst give u one example if adiy or karan direct a movie u know it will be hit at least it will be a average n I cn guarantee it. n cn u guys say it cn b possible wt rajshree or david?n the topic u told salman was not consider fr their project u guys thank salman he made srk a super star bcz salman rejected movies than it goes to him.salman was always big directors wish list bt it was salman who ignore them totally.
Whats the big deal if a job less person takes whatever job comes to him?? SK n AK had established themselves enough to reject roles but srk could not do it because it was initial days of his career. Have anyone heard or seen Salman doing a movie which was rejected by Srk?? But we have Darr, CDI which were offered to Salman before going to Srk. It is a different debate how Darr n Baazigar turned out after their release. It was Srk hard work n dedication which made him successful so it is same for AK & SK. Dont call it as guts or risk just because movies were successful. It was like ‘something is better than nothing’ for srk however his choices turned his career !!!!
@hrithik Sallu and hard work??? Oh please………….even he has admitted in many interviews that he does not and never work as hard as other actors and never took his career seriously, he didnt have too, he knew he had big and strong connections in bollywood and that he wud always get roles even if he delivered many flops, just like flop star Abhishek who is still getting many roles, its just that the single screen audience took a huge liking to Salman after his 2nd film, so u ridicule a guy who had no help and had to take whatever he cud get to keep himself and wife from starving………………………………do u even know that the gr8 and respected Slyvester Stallone did a blue movie as his first movie to keep from starving??? So what if SRK or anyone else did the same to keep from starving instead of becoming a thief or criminal to survive……………………………………………….
@Triniman : your foolish comment is enough to show your stupidity. Salman may not be a good actor but a great entertainer (even Srk called him same) which I believe is not a cakewalk. The problem with Salman is he is what he is in real life. He cant be fake or pretend to be fake !!!!! About Single screen viewers, even you were one of them before multiplexes started. Dont crack jokes by saying Salman getting offers due to his connections. He is an actor who can single handledly given hits. Producers are interested in him due to his charisma. People just pays to see him on screen whereas srk needs a big director, a good script, a well known heroine n hit music to bring audience to theatres !!!!!!!
@hrithik yeh thats why salman singled handledly steered veer, main aur miss khanna, marigold, yuvrraj, london dreams, babul, janeman, Salam e ihsq to hits right??????? According to u all directors need is Salman and we have hit movie……………..I bow down to u for recognising this………..u shud be a professor for ur ‘brillance’ at observing and deducing this things…………………………..I am just a common man…………….Yeh Dabang 2(Favicol Se) Ready(Dhinka Chinka, Character Deela), Bodyguard(Teri Meri), ETT(Mashalla) didnt have hit music, big director, banner, big herione………they became blockbusters ONLY becuz of Salman right???????????
@arman,are you kidding?then what is VIVAH,sooraj(rajjshri production) gave even shahid kapoor a blockbuster and you’re calling him small directors.then it’s sooraj who gave salman to his 1st bb,otherwise see his 1st film,now don’t give excuse that was a special appearance film.I want a single film of salman to be a hit in current period with out south remake,yrf,sooraj and with out no fights no matter how much screen he occupied.because south remake is the actual father of lallu bhai.
@hrithik,take out out ready from salman’s list as it was anees bazmi’s film,as anees already gave 1 super hit,1 bb-SIK,WELCOME to akshay kumar.so salman has only 2bb-dabang and dabang2.so SRK’s success with out YRF/DP,just take a look at those excluding averages only hits:
ATBB-CE
BB-OSO
SUPER HIT-BAAZIGAR,MAIN HOON NA,DEVDAS
HITS-DEEWANA,KHKN,PARDES,CHALTE CHALTE,DON,RA ONE,DON2
so you said SRK is nothing with out big banner.then from where these films came from?lol.so in your meaning salman never worked with big heroine,big banner,hit music?kindly give his success with out south remake,rajshri productions,david dhawan,anees bazmi.if you’re dishonest then you can add south remake films also in your list to compete SRK.but I know your list will be no where closer to this.still all wants sallu’s list,come on give it.let’s see.
what you said people paid to see sallu?are you kidding?if so then why jai ho couldn’t get at least a clean hit status.don’t give any excuses,because it’s you said it become a bb before it’s release.don’t give any excuses.I think single eid release helped sallu a lot in last 4 years and it’s result felt in 2014’s jai ho.salman did everytime masala films on eid and people are fond of these,so they watched those films and made them bb.let’s salman do a movie with out fight and masla remakes,I bet you his own fans will not go to theatre to watch the film.that’s why he is the 2nd most flop giving star and he wouldn’t have give 10 disasters continuously.but SRK proved himself the best entertainer after CE,any sallu couldn’t even closer to him in entertainment.acting is not a cakewalk thing,an actor is much more great than an entertainer.but SRK is best actor as well as entertainer,his every film get at least hit status if no competition then bb.you said our dialogue:he is the actor gave single handedly hits:.just replace flop in place of hits.that’s suitable for sallu.from 2000-2010 is waste period for sallu,however raised in 2010 but again expired in 2014.
you’re totally a big stupid,you wants to say a rich man struggle more than a beggar to live the life,right.if non acting family background actors didn’t have to work more,than actors like akshay,john could have big stars as SRK.but they are smaller than salman and amir,you said about every big actor’s so than what about ranbir kapoor he is a superstar from early of his age,why?any actor’s son who has good looks/acting skills he will surely be a big star.so as sallu and amir.you wants to say to do 38 films in 25 year is a hard work or to make one after one south remake only to get profit.so feared loosers are sallu and amir.no doubt they are big stars but comparing with global superstar or megastar SRK,is totally an insul of Indian cinema,so upgrade your bhojpuri mind,don’t give foolish comments,lol.
@armaan & hrithik dont talk like nonbrainers likes of sky & aks…dont make your self fool and answer yourself why suraj with 2 atbb and 1 bb not as big as karan/aaditya both have 1 atbb and 1 bb and same david dhawan aankhen,partner…..
By the way hrithik darr offered to amir and bazzigar to salman and same lagaan & 3idiots to shahrukh and ghajini to salman….
Salman,amir,HR,ranbir,AB belongs to bollywood so in intitial stage they have back up and DARR,BAAZIGAR have negative shades so both khans not shown guts to do this movie after have back up….its always someone’s lost gets someone gain…
@sss well said dude!
@sss good answer to salmir fans and aks fans…i wonder why they alwz left debate inbetween…big loozers
@Triniman,thanks a lot bro,hey @sem and @yash,soon with in a few days,@sky name will changed another 3alphabet name,this happened after jai ho’s 2nd week collection article,you know what this guy @aks or whatever is a pure SRK hater because even salman fans are not taking care off their star’s article,but this guy is a serious STML patient like ghajini,lol.
@Triniman : It is not possible to turn every movie into a hit or BB. Even Srk have some failures n even Sachin had got out for zero. About factors, Srk movies ticks all factors n wants to have everything big still he was giving hit. Among Salman movies, ETT is only movie which had many factors other than Salman !!!! If you are saying an item song or a hit song can make or break a movie then why TMK was not a hit despite taking biggest opening (thanks to Sheela ki Jawani song) ? Now it shows how pathetic your brilliance is ? The problem with srk fans always downgrade others with lame excuses n crap things.
@sss : Nobody takes you seriously (apart from some srk fanatics) after Saif Ali Khan ‘Bharat Ratna’ debacle comment from you. Get well soon you STML patient !!!! suddenly Anees Bazmee is bigger director for you !!! heights of Hypocrisy!!! Also stop trying prove Srk wrong. Everytime srk says something (Be his acceptance about flops or calling Salman one of the greatest entertainers) you are trying to prove him wrong instead of supporting him. Even some sensible srk fans (yy mithaiwala) called you a blind fan !!!!!
@sem : For all stupid srkians like you, if srk does something it is great, risk taking n blah blah if others do it is due to directors, family background n other factors. Whereas, in reality srk is the one who always needed big production camps. Rajshri is also big banner but how often Rajshri produces or directs Salman a movie unlike Kjo, Adi n Yash Ji ?? It only since 2004 or multiplex era Kjo n YRF started to cast other actors n produce multiple movies in a year. Also my point was Salman have not done any movie which was rejected by srk and not which movies were offered to Salman before going to srk !!!!
@sss : Eat your own words, ETT n Dabangg are not remakes which are Salman biggest hits of his career. Also take out YRF, Dharma, Red Chillies, Rajnikanth, Honey Singh, Deepika, Farhaan Akhtar, Anushkaa, Kajol from Srk movies n see how many hits he have ?? Also why are you calling Salman rich n Srk a beggar ? I spoke only about survival in bollywood n talking about daily needs. Do you understand the comparisons between two stars n two normal people? Fool, actors like AK & SK also carries a background n reputation hence they are under more pressure than a non filmy background guy like srk. The only advantage they may get his initial or kicking off carrier thats it !!!! How analyse n conclude who is the biggest fool? me or STML (you) patient ??? Moron sss !!!!
@ hrithik checkout the history of yrf & dharma then you will know with srk both benners are on peak…yrf founded in 1970 till 1993 yrf have only 1 superhit and 2 hits then how can you call it big benner ???
Dharma production founded in 1976 but till 1998 only 1 hit then how it is big benner ???? when a guy belongs to bollywond he will get more chances likes of amir,salman,ab in early stages of career ? Suraj badjatya,karan johar,aaditya chopra among them decide who have better record as director ??
@hrithik you like to stick only karan,yashji,aadi but what about suraj,david dhawan ?? After having backup not doing movie like of darr,baazigar just showing both khans fear of losing image and r they really established themselves to reject that movie lolz JUST ACCEPT THEY HAVE FEAR
@hrithik,who don’t give explanations,just prove it what I asked.don’t change topic.tif you want so than take out sonakshi from dabang series also sooraj,david,anees,yrf and see you bhai’s existence.lo.you think anees bazmi is a small director.he is the director of singh is king and welcome and no entry which are bbs.farahan akhtar and farah khan got their first and last hits with SRK only.who call me blind or stml or whatever,I don’t care until and unless I’m right with in own words.what I said just do that,give list with out them then I’ll see you bhai’s success.then you also may listened salman saying this about SRK”GOD gave so many respects to him so who we are to pull him down”.also said “he is as big superstar as like me”.then why you prove salman wrong?also you know what SRK is not a back stabber like your bhai who convinced ajay to release sos with JTHJ.you’re as 3rd class as like your bhai.
I said bhrat ratna but later I rectified with padma bhushan,which is also a prestigious award that saif got,which he didn’t deserve,so what’s the big deal?you’re such a fool couldn’t find difference between real things and example,rich man and beggar,lol.whatever about ett it belongs to YRF,so why again take this name like a shameless,but about dabang whole credit goes to abhinav’s great story however he made worst stories like besharam.if salman has that much potency,then he could’ve made dabang2 also atbb with a holiday release,but he couldn’t and more interesting thing is dabang2 which is the most worst film of all films in earth after bodyguard becomes bb due to it’s previous film’s impression.so yo can also say like CE is also a brilliant script who some days before saying CE was a crap.lol.every actors fans are better than you bhai fans,because their class is different,at least they didn’t watch same crap remake fight films again again and didn’t support a criminal/murderer.so you think whoever not supporting salman is stml patient because they didn’t like to support to criminal.look who is double standard.lol.it’s true SRK is bggest and far bigger than salman in CURRENT POSTION-check BOI-1.salman(5 films),2.SRK(4 films),also jai ho and CE.don’t give excuses.give list with out YRF.now each thing is like crystal and clear,so tell me again moron/stml patient/whater,but I bet you you couldn’t prove it because loser couldn’t prove them right og also I forgot the problem is you’re the biggest STML patient,lol.come on……..
@hrithik,you’re biggest moron,I had ever seen.you think anees bazmi is a small director?he is as important as big directors,also he has good names and he gave bb ready to salman.you think an entertainer is so great,where as the biggest entertainer+actor SRK is nothing.that’s the dumbest thing that you always said,that’s why you’re called mindless stml patient and you’re responsible for downgrade of today’s many value based movies and yeah SRK is the biggest treatment medicine for you.yes I’m fanatic but I said whatever that’s all truth not like you biggest fanatic couldn’t accept the truth,lol.do you think everybody is so much interested about you besides some moron amir fans,I don’t think so.and sensible? do you know the meaning of this word?when you mindless fan belongs to this category,lol?your way of choosing films,way of supporting murderers only will submit you in 3rd class category or you people can called classless.tell me your bhai’s one film that based upon acting and that also got at least hit status,lol?
that’s why as salman couldn’t give a value based movie and due to being bollywood’s 2nd highest flop giving actor,also by doing highest plagiarized south copies and having less money contribute to bollywood than SRK-adding all this proves salman is too small star in front of MEGASTAR SRK.as India contains so much illiterates that’s why sallu is a existed star.coming to amir khan-his 1st decade is a waste,in 2nd decade he gave some sensible movies which is also less compared to SRK,also he did least movies being senior of all actors of today,but he couldn’t has huge fan following neither a big entertainer who tries very hard at end of the career stage but it’s useless,he has no stardom-adding all these he is not even 50% close to SRK.neither amir nor salman made Indian films globalize beside today’s 1-2 films which is not countable.I didn’t say about their existence,why I’m saying this is to to make known the difference between ordinary superstar and LEGEND SUPERSTAR,lol.so both sallu and amir are small superstars compared to KING KHAN.
if you want to go for collection,then salman gave 1312cr worldwide,amir gave 1649cr worldwide and SRK gave 1951cr to bollywood industry considering their last 10 films that I write this many times may you have marked,leading a way ahead of both.why I only added these 10 films because bothe amir and slaman’s success are existed mostly in these 10 films,if I go furthur behind,then both of them are nowhere to KING of bollywood SRK.lol.so tell me in which way you considered salman is big star than SRK?????lol.but I know you’ll not accpet this and will give this reply:in current period salman and amir is bigger than SRK-check BOI”.lol.in current period,considering this decade and last 10 films they are behind far behind SRK and you’re saying SRK is smaller.admit this DILLIPJI,BIGB,SRK ruled their generations,while sallu,amir just like jeetendra,dharmendra at the time of BIGB who are there to give hard competition but couldn’t be the ruler.as RULER only will decide for LIFETIME/WHOLE CAREER not for 4-5 year career,lol.lol.this is what the ETERNAL TRUTH is.admit this otherwise you’ll prove yourself as a STML patient and take care of your brain and never put much pressure to prove yourself right,lol.
@sem : For you if Srk rejects it is his choice or luxury and other actors refuse then it is fear n all. Sahi hai double standards !!!!!
@yash : partially agree with you but YRF was also instrumental in taking bollywood in overseas. Check Chandni n Lamhe collections in overseas n then speak !!!!
@ sss : You make less sense n more noise thats why I reply in same format which you understand. I have already given you reply through my question but sadly it cannot get into your mind as we know how brilliant you are. Lol !!!!! Salman ahead of Srk – BOI just remember that. What did Srk do to Salman so he back stabbed him? AJ Devgan is also a friend of Salman but he was not a producer of SOS to decide release date. He just supported n stood by his friend unlike srk who isolated Hrithik during K3 collections controversary. Srk has back stabbed Salman after having food n shelter from him. Neither Salman or his fans need not to give any explanation to any fanatics like you to prove his Stardom. Entire India n world knows it !!!! Get well soon STML patient. Also watch out for Yeh Hai Bakrapur release !!!!!!!
@hrithik grow up
@hrithik,say how can you give you explanations?do you have such valid reasons.sallu gave SRK food,shelter?sallu never helped anyone,rather got advantage of them.for example,in sgmp show in zee tv,his fight with himesh proved how cruel he is.don’t give explanations,I showed the prove before how he convinced ajay,btw how you know hr separated from SRK,kindly give the proof,may be in your dreams,lol.similarly he helped SRK and after his success,he got jealous and asked SRK to leave industry,but SRK didn’t do that for his fans.how cheap is this 3rd class salman?I just checked whether you’re able to prove sallu right or not,but my last comments made you speechless,lol.neither in collection or not by good films sallu is still behind and he could only remain behind of KING,that’s what his position.yeah I know,enjoy your BOI,for 7 months,after you’ll disappear,lol.oh your favourite film bakrapur is coming that made by your cheapest sallu bhai by gave money to director to direct the movie,lol.your cheapness knew no bounds.in this era after 2000,your sallu’s position is 3rd after amir 2nd.remember this position mindless fans.NO.1 WILL ALWAYS REMAIN NO.1,lol.
@yash : You can countlessly talk about srk past glories but if we give any references of past then grow up !!!!!
@sss : chant or bark whatever you want to satisfy yourself but that wont change the reality. In present scenarios, Salman ahead of srk. I will gracefully accept if Srk ahead of Salman because i am not blind or fanatic like you !!!! You srk fans knows Salman is the only star who can compete with srk in terms of stardom hence you are simply jealous of him !!!!!
Salman is a life changer for many young pple indeed in this generation. Salman is Salman….
