DABANG SALLU BHAI WAQT KE SATH AUR DIL WALA AUR DILDAR HOTE JA RHA HAI...Ali Peter John

I find it difficult to believe that this is the same Salman Khan with whom I had a serious tussle during one of his first few films Shuryavanshi, when he had abuses my photographs which he didn't want him to take and I had complained to my editor who had banned him in my paper and since my paper was a big paper, all the other papers and magazines big and small had also banned, a ban which lasted for more than four years, till his film 'Hum Apke Hai Kaun' came along and the Barjatya family had come to my office to have a patchup and we had still carried only a still from the film, but had refused to carry his personal profile - Ali Peter John

His father, Salim Khan however continued to be my friend and kept saying, "are Ali ye kya jhadga hai tum logo ka, kuch karo aur khatm kar do". Rajnikant who was also a regular in Mumbai at that time had also asked me to end the problem we had and to this day i still don't know what the problem was between us...

Anyway, now when I look back and look at the present and the future, I think that incident should never have occurred. Am i influenced or impressed by the change in him? If i am, i have my reasons to be.

I have been following his activities in his NGO being human and even though I know people who have their own ways of looking at it, I have seen the organisation doing a world of good to people, especially during the pandemic.

And now comes something from his career. There is a Sallu principal at work for the last many years which says that a Salman Khan Film has to be released during Eid. But, this time will be the first time when there will be no Salman Khan release for Eid and it is a directive coming from Salman himself.

And Salman goes one step further and asked his fans to support Ajay Devgan and his film "Runway34" which will be released during Eid. Salman's saying this for Ajay is like one big blessing because it is known that Salman's one Ishara to his fans is enough to bring millions of people to the theatres.

The friendship between the two khans Shahrukh and Salman is a well known truth nowadays. SRK starting shooting for a film after his last flop, Zero and after all the controversy over his son Aryan and Salman must have felt the need to boost the confidence of his friend and so he did a major Camio in Pathan at the very beginning of the shoot.

Now SRK will do a major Camio in Salman's "Tiger3". I don't know whether it is an emotional move or a commercial move, but i would like to believe that it is a decision driven by emotion.

Salman is now focusing all his energies on the release of his "Tiger 3" in which he teams up with his one time friend Katrina Kaif and he has completed all the shooting for the film and at 56, he is all set to start work on some new films like "Kabhi Eid kabhi diwali" and a film with Chiranjeevi from the south which will be called " Godfather".

There are other projects that have been coming to Salman, but according to his team of advisors, he is taking things seriously after considering his age and role.
Salman is also using his TV shows like Big boss and some other TV shows which he is producing to spread his message of doing good to as many as he can and to prevent wrong messages from going across through his shows.

And what about all the rumours and gossip about his marrying Sonakshi Sinha and his having a wife and a grown up daughter who live in Dubai and he says, " Sachchai kabhi chhup nahi sakti aur meri sachchai to sabke samne hai fir isme chupane ka kya hai. Waqt aane par saari sachchai samne aa jayegi."
