I know what goes up also comes down: Salman
He’s riding the success wave. Salman Khan’s explosive box office dhamakas have the film industry in thrall.It's clear that nobody `Khan'stop Salman. In the US, after a successful surgery of his neurological disorder, Salman will return to shoot his next film, with a renewed energy. Afsana Ahmed
You are Back with a bang?
Big bang alright. By God’s grace, my films are doing well now. But I am aware what goes up comes down so I will keep working harder.
High tide
It’s all because of my fans. I think they sense my genuine intent. I do films for them not for any intellectual reasons. My films are like a three-hour party, where everyone’s having a blast. My life has been mired in negativity. Despite what one goes through in personal life, the attempt is always to make people laugh.
No grudges
I don’t grudge anybody for not signing me when I was down. What’s wrong with that? If somebody is not focussed and not interested in his work, what’s the point? Filmmakers were always coming to me only I wasn’t focussed. If you are not doing well in any business then naturally people would run away from you. Even I would do the same. If tomorrow a particular person is not saleable, I would replace him. That’s business and I am fine with it.
Still making a ‘Preity’ pair with Zinta. :)
After whatever happened, (read: the tape controversy few years back) it was great fun to work with Preity again in New York. There wasn’t any awkwardness between us. She is a fine actor and nice co-star. I like her a lot.
Biggest achievement
None. Nothing is in my control. Because I know for a fact that somebody else is working ten times harder than I am. Even if you have everything right and give your best, finally the strings are pulled by somebody else up there.
Fun at 47
Earlier, life used to end at 40 but now life not only begins but rocks after 40, at least for me. I feel the same as ever. I am growing up, learning from my mistakes everyday. I have made too many mistakes. I feel more strong and responsible though. But its hardly an age to turn reflective.
What’s the secret of your looks?
I am not responsible for my looks. And I don’t think I am handsome.
Kareena calling
Initially, it was awkward working with Kareena but later it became fine. I have seen her grow up and I’ve treated her like a small child. You know her flaws and qualities because the association has been long. Now, we are comfortable. I feel both the sisters, Karisma and Kareena, are very alike workwise.
Hollywood ambitions
I can’t go to Hollywood to audition for a role. If they like me, they’ll come. If I like the subject and get the respect I deserve, I will take up the offer. Mujhe koi shauk nahin hai, subah 5 bajey jaakey set pe baithoon. I am happy with Hindi films. I will not do any film for the heck of it. I’ll do a film that will represent our Indian culture and make us proud of who we are. Entry into Hollywood for Indian cinema should be just like the way it’s done by the Chinese or Japanese film industries, who make their kind of movies with their culture and tradition intact and then enter the Hollywood market. I want our films or be something like that. We have tremendous overseas following and if somebody uses this opportunity little intelligently, we can make an inroad into Hollywood.
