SALMAN KHAN SAYS PEOPLE SEE ME JOKING ON 'BIGG BOSS' SO THEY THINK I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THINGS

Salman Khan is one of the biggest stars in India. But for him, it was not an easy journey to stardom due to his professional highs and lows and legal troubles. The actor admits that there have been breaking points in his life, but his job does not allow him to show his vulnerable side.

At the Global TiE Summit, Salman Khan said; "My profession is such that I have to look good, dress up, do stylised action sequences and romance. Articles come on my affairs, me working with beautiful heroines and then suddenly a court date comes up... People see me on 'Bigg Boss' in which I am laughing and joking. So, people think I don't give a damn about things. That is the most difficult part about our journey as actors. No matter what you are going through at your home or in your personal life, you can't have sub-titles there. You have to be that character, no matter what you are going through."

He said that being a star you do not have the "luxury of being depressed or sad". "I see a lot of people going on vacations, but I cannot afford that luxury of taking a vacation. I see a lot of people getting depressed and emotional, but I can't afford that luxury of being depressed or sad or emotional because no matter what I am going through, it works against me," he said.

He also recalled the initial days of his journey in the film industry and said; "The journey I began with 'Maine Pyar Kiya', not knowing if I would make it, and that time it was difficult because there was another actor, who had started his career and he had given a big hit. That kid's name was Aamir Khan. He was from the same locality. I thought that he made it and if I didn't make it, the whole Bandra will start laughing at me. So, my concern was only Bandra- Pali Hill and the friends' circle, which just had four-five people."

On the professional front, Salman Khan is currently busy shooting for Race 3 which is slated to release on 15 June 2018.
