# ” I share a great chemistry with Aishwarya in “Kyun Ho Gaya Na”. But haven’t I shared an equally great chemistry Rani Mukherjee in “Saathiya” and Kareena Kapoor in “Yuva”? Our chemistry seemed so real that people thought I had something to do with Rani in real life”

# ” I’m not all that good. For my performance in Company out of 100 I’d award 90 marks to Ram Gopal Varma. It was his clarity of thoughts and his belief in the character that really worked for me. Nine marks I’d give the technical crew and my cast who supported me all through the film. And may be I’d take credit for the remaining one per cent.”

Ash wanted to know if all was well. It was then that I told her that Salman had been calling me all night, threatening and abusing me…. She is free to see whom she wants, get married, have an affair… he has no business to harass her like this.”

# “I don’t remember of any phase in my life where there have been no problems,”

# “I was always my mother’s pet. She gave me whatever I wanted. Those days for me to whiz around in a sports car and wear Italian threads was the most important thing. I mean, life was one big party. Loud music, wild partying, the works.”

# “I always was a passionate man, a passionate person. To me passion meant living it up. Enjoying life to the fullest. I always did what I wanted. I was always given whatever I desired.”

# “I respond to love and kindness with all my heart. If I get a little I am willing to give everything.”

# “I don’t feel competitive at all. I feel everybody’s got their own place. I’m not in the number game at all. I’ve never wanted to be. I am an individual, not a number.”

# “All I can say is that I have full faith in the judiciary. I am thankful to the people of this country; I have a long battle to face; please pray for me and I love you all.” [ After released on bail]

Sanjay Dutt about Munnabhai MBBS. [2003] :

“It’s a kind of satire on the medical profession, but at the same time, it’s a fun film, though not a slapstick comedy. The jokes and dialogs aren’t written to evoke a forced laughter; I’d say it’s situational. Munnabhai is comical because of the way he is. But at the core, it’s a very emotional film. It will be a really fantastic film. The script is amazingly hilarious. It’s not an inspired story, it’s original. Munnabhai was one role I couldn’t refuse, as it’s in a league of its own. Suddenly, due to one jhatka in his life, he decides to become a doctor. So how a bhai enrolls in a medical college and goes to study medicine is very funny as an idea.”

Salman Khan is Misunderstood

Salman says: “Call me arrogant or whatever you like. I am like this. I try and put forward myself very clearly. I am not scared of speaking the truth. I have been labelled arrogant by a section of the film press, especially those magazines which want me to run around them and accept whatever they write about me. If I call you names, if I write rubbish about your family, will you like it? It can spoil your relationships with your colleagues and family and also land you in a soup. Just because somebody wants to sell his magazine, does it mean I should allow them to make use of me? ”

“If I am so bad then why aren’t people scared of me? Why do children run and come to me for autographs? Why don’t parents hesitate to introduce me to their children? Do I behave like a real-life villain? The truth is that only those people are scared of me, who, when I was going through a low phase, wrote a lot of rubbish about me. I was rude to people because of their own mistakes. Most of them were journalists who indulged in yellow journalism, and I refused to give them interviews. “Since I stopped entertaining them, they wrote a load of bullshit about me. Why should I take all that shit? I am a man who has his principles and will adhere to it.” (Rediff, June 1998)

Salman Khan quotes

# “I realised that a good body was an asset and hence I cast my shirt off for the film. When you have a good body, why shouldn’t you show it off, man? Walking around bare-chested is not new for me. Even in my house, I never wear a shirt. You will always find me in just shorts. If I am driving or walking down the road, and if I feel hot, I just take off my shirt and carry on. I do not care what people say. If you have a problem, get lost.”

# “The only person I have hurt is myself.”

# “But my strength lies in the fact that I know my potential and my limitations, I don’t do what I can’t. I turn down parts that I know will suit others better.”

# “For me acting, comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don’t act at all. I think that to feel the character’s pain I have to be myself. Somewhere audiences see that.”

# “It was very difficult in the beginning, when everybody was talking about it. My mother just couldn’t take it. It hurt her terribly. She used to worry all the time, go in to depression frequently. When she cried, we children used to cry with her.” [On his father's 2nd marriage to Helen]

# “In life go straight and turn right.”

Stars’ quotes on Salman Khan

# “He rocks even at 40. We were teasing him the other day on the sets that he’s getting younger as he’s growing older. I guess his zest for life keeps him young,” – Dia Mirza

# “He’s like a child. He’s very simple. He doesn’t understand the complex ways of the world,”- Subhash Ghai

# “He’s the most rocking Khan of all in Bollywood,” actor Ritesh Deshmukh said. Salman looks nothing less than 30 for me. He’s got a great heart,” – Zayed Khan

# “Salman is a star. He just monopolises the screen with his presence” – Karan Johar

What Aishwarya Rai Said..?

#  “Salman and I broke up last March, but he isn’t able to come to terms with it… After we broke up, he would call me and talk rubbish. He also suspected me of having affairs with my co-stars. I was linked up with everyone, from Abhishekh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan. There were times when Salman got physical with me, luckily without leaving any marks. And I would go to work as if nothing had happened.” (The Times of India, September 27, 2002)

# “I cannot comment on any of the content in the tape or the ensuing debate and discussion. The matter has been taken over by the law. Let the legal system take its course.”

# “It’s sad that I’m being projected as unprofessional and calculating. Filmmakers who have signed me know that the only healing factor in my life is my work. This is a male-dominated industry and I guess it has been difficult for many to digest a woman holding her own with dignity. Nevertheless, there’s somebody up there who’s with me,” [ when Salman disturbed her shootings]

Akshay kumar quotes

# “There are people in the industry who’ve ten affairs, but no one is talking about them. I’ve had two or three affairs and people just want to pounce on me.”

# “I really believe anyone who can stay in India can stay in any part of the world. Anyone who can drive in India can drive anywhere in the world.. this may sound like a contradiction but because we break more traffic rules, we are more attentive drivers.”

# “I have wised up. The more I speak, the more I get embroiled in controversies. I’ve been linked with every heroine. And even though I’m married now, the rumours just don’t stop.”

# “I was never much interested in studies. I was basically more interested in sports. I was very good in sports especially in volleyball & cricket. Those activities in sports kept me fit and that has still come in use today whether in my career or my personal use.”

# “I started doing martial arts when I was in 8th standard. From there I started and I am still doing it today.”

# “I have always been very attached to my mother. Even today, whenever she is out of town, I fall ill. When I go for outdoor schedules, I fall ill.”

# “In my childhood my parents had got my ‘kundali’ made many times, but no astrologer had ever predicted that I would become a star.”

# ” I train myself every morning for 1 ½ hrs. It is enough for me to keep myself fit. I exercise but I don’t do any bodybuilding or weight lifting. I do not say weights are bad but I don’t do the same.”
