This is who Salman Khan feels should have played the last decade of Sanjay Dutt's life in ‘Sanju’

Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Sanju’ has become the biggest talking points in the Bollywood industry. Owing to the incredible transformation of Ranbir Kapoor to the uncanny resemblance to Sanjay Dutt, the movie is on everyone’s watchlist. While everyone has been praising Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Sanjay Dutt in the film, Sanju’s close friend Salman Khan doesn’t quite understand why someone else played the veteran actor’s last portion in the movie.


During a recent media interaction while promoting his upcoming movie ‘Race 3’ Salman had mentioned how no one else can do justice to Sanjay Dutt’s last decade in the film. He feels that the veteran actor himself should have played the part. He said that no one other than Sanjay Dutt himself can do justice to the part.

However, netizens have been taking a dig at the dialogues from the film and several memes around Daisy Shah’s one particular dialogue left the fans in splits. Daisy’s dialogue, “Our business is our business, none of your business” fetched a lot of attention and even the Mumbai Police trolled the viral dialogue with a meme. In fact, Daisy Shah retweeted the Mumbai Police tweet while other actors of the movie – Jacqueline Fernandez and Salman Khan uploaded videos mouthing the dialogue. Jacqueline in fact posted two videos and one of it also had Daisy and their banter was quite nice.


Salman is also making a comeback on the small screen with his show ‘Dus Ka Dum’ soon, and during the launch event of the show, Salman gave a rather befitting reply to these trolls. When Salman was asked about ‘Race 3’ being under scrutiny, he said that people with two or three followers are not trolls.


Salman was also asked about his thoughts on marriage and how many percentage of fans does he think want to see him get married. The 'Bharat' actor hilariously quipped that if given a chance to answer this question in his 'Dus Ka Dum' style, then he would probably opt for a window of 0-10% only.


Apart from ‘Race 3’, Salman will also be seen playing the lead opposite Priyanka Chopra in Ali Abbas Zafar’s ‘Bharat’ which is a Hindi adaptation of the Korean film ‘Ode to my Father’.

Salman Khan reveals how he deals with criticism

Salman Khan may be a force to reckon with in the Bollywood film industry, but he has had his fair share of public and media backlash. The actor, who will soon be taking over the small screen with his reality TV show 'Bigg Boss 11', was asked about living life in the spotlight and how he dealt with the load of criticism often coming his way.
Responding to how he deals with nasty things written about him, Salman said, "I don't follow (criticism), it doesn't bother me. Even right now they might be writing really nasty things about me, but I don't get bothered because I am not reading it."

Talking about the responsibility that comes with being a public figure, he said, "When you become a celebrity, you have a responsibility. So you don't want to go down that way. If you react to a common man (in a bad way) being a celebrity, people will say 'look at him, this is not good.'"

"If a common man does the same to a celebrity, people don't enjoy that either. If it is all fun and games, then good. But you need to take care of your image as well," he added.

Is Salman Khan planning to father a child through surrogacy?

It seems that the next one to join the bandwagon of celebrities who skipped the marriage level and plunged directly into parental stage is none other than the Bhaijaan of Bollywood, Salman Khan.
It is no news that Salman has been shying away from marriage for a long time now. But the actor has been hinting at fathering a child, nonetheless of late. We are well aware of his fondness for children and given the fact that he will be turning 52 this year in December, he too apparently feels it is about time.
According to reports in a daily, citing that his mother Salma Khan wants him to have a child, he said he might opt for surrogacy in next 2-3 years. However, the actor also admitted that he is aware of the fact that having a child now would mean that when the kid will turn 20, he would already be 70. He insisted that he still wants to do it because he doesn’t want to break his parents’ heart.
It was Tusshar Kapoor who started the trend of having a child without marriage through surrogacy in Bollywood in 2016 with his son Lakshya, after which director Karan Johar followed suit with his twin bundle of joys, Yash and Roohi.

Salman Khan says he misses working on comedy films

Salman Khan has established himself as one of the biggest action stars in Bollywood. However, comedy is also his forte as proven by films like ‘Hello Brother’, ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’, ‘Partner’, ‘Ready’ and 'Judwaa' among many others.

The superstar revealed recently that he is trying to work on a comedy film but has not found any interesting scripts so far. He added that if a script really makes him laugh then he will surely do it. But the last film that managed to make him laugh was ‘Ready’, so he hasn’t been a part of comedy films since then. On the plus side, Bhai is definitely on the lookout for a good script to see he can get back to cracking us up with his humorous antics.

Here’s what Salman Khan thinks about love and marriage

Salman Khan, who was busy promoting his recently released film ‘Tubelight’, spoke about his idea of marriage and love. The actor, who’s been incessantly posed the question of when he will tie the knot over the years, said that he thinks marriage is just a "waste of money".

Salman offered his views on the emotion of love as well. He said that he does not believe in love at all and the word ‘love’ should be replaced with ‘need’. He further said that a relationship is based on whose need is more, or who one might need at some point and that the need for the other person has to be mutual at all times.

The ‘Sultan’ actor may not believe in marriage and love, but he definitely adheres to the idea of companionship. He quips that companionship comes out of being together with a person for so long that there’s an emotional connect, or the fact that both the participants have flaws, but they are aware of the larger picture, and that they are happy together. Sallu concluded by reiterating that 'love' is, essentially, ‘need’.

Arbaaz Khan on Salman's 'rape' comment: I hope that he would give a clarification

Salman Khan has landed himself in a fresh round of controversies post his 'raped woman' remark that has irked many. This came under the spotlight when social media went berserk with a recent interview Salman gave to promote his film 'Sultan'. While explaining the kind of effort he has put in to portray the role of a wrestler on-screen, Khan's choice of words paved way for his trouble. On one side, Salman's father Salim took to Twitter to apologise on behalf of the family, Arbaaz Khan, on the other hand, broke his silence and spoke at length on this. In an event held recently, he was quoted saying, "There is no doubt that in what Salman said, the intention was not bad. Sometimes you say something out of context but your intention is not bad. But if you become oversensitive over it then you can create a controversy out of anything. I am sure that Salman must have realised that the comparison he made was not appropriate and for that if he feels that he needs to apologise, he will apologise. I don’t think I am entitled to say that he has to apologise or not. I hope that he would give a clarification as a controversy has been created. People look up to him and he has a lot of following. So if he has made a statement that does not look appropriate or does not sound good to the ears, I think in time he will give a statement."

'Katrina is a mazdoor'

After refraining from commenting on Katrina Kaif's career graph for so long and even taking digs at her from time to time, seems like Salman Khan is finally warming up to the subject again. The superstar was present at the Manoharbhai Patel Institute Of Engineering College in Gondia as the guest of honour and patiently answered all the questions posed at him. So when Rajat Sharma, who hosted the event, asked him as to what he thought of Katrina's statement that she owed her success to him, Salman was quick to quip, "Katrina says that whatever I am today, is because of Salman Khan. Katrina Kaif has achieved everything on her own because she is very hard working. I have NEVER seen a more hardworking girl than Katrina in my whole life. She is India's biggest star for you. But according to me, Katrina is a mazdoor (labourer). That is how much she works on herself. You guys have to learn from her."

Salman accuses Sanam Teri Kasam makers of stealing?

Salman Khan can be very tongue-in-cheek if he wants to be. His Twitter account is an interesting mix of serious, funny and really hilarious posts. The actor's wry sense of humour is evident from all his tweets. So, it didn't come as a surprise when Salman accused 'Sanam Teri Kasam' makers of stealing a track from his film, 'Tere Naam.' What the actor probably meant was perhaps that the song, 'Haal-e-dil' that he had originally shortlisted for Tere Naam but not used, eventually went into the film, 'Sanam Teri Kasam.' While the music director for both the films - 'Tere Naam' and 'Sanam Teri Kasam' - are same and hence there is no question of the track being lifted, we sure do like Bhaijaan's style of saying it. He tweeted, "Directors of my film Lucky n Sanam Teri Kasam churaud my song from Himesh. lovely song Had selected it for Tere Naam"

Aap samajh rahi hain? Then pffft, you no longer feel the same way and the other person is like, “What did I do?"
