Salman Khan on not inheriting his father’s taste in women, his eccentricities and more

Perhaps no one but Salman Khan manages to look hot even when he has a bad cold. In spite of the constant sniffing and throat clearing, the smiles are abundant too. He even jokes to say, “If I sing now, I will sound like Himesh Reshammiya…”.

However, he has a great opinion about his once-upon-a-time friend Himesh. “It’s a wonder how he has acted through the film in a cap. That man started off as a TV producer and look at him today. If he had continued doing TV, he would have given Ektaa Kapoor stiff competition. Someone who started with one crore now doesn’t talk about anything less than 100 hundred crores now! Isn’t that amazing?” he asks.

Salman has two films up for release — ‘Marigold’ and ‘Partner’. In ‘Marigold’ he plays a choreographer. Ask him if he has improved his dancing skills for the film and he replies with mock anger, “I can dance better than Hrithik Roshan. It’s just that I don’t display my talents because I want the audience to match their steps with me.” And then, with a smile he says, “Actually as a dancer, you can place me somewhere between Ajay Devgan and Hrithik Roshan.”

Talking about ‘Marigold’, he says, “Salman Khan is only a big star in India. I have done this film which will be shown everywhere in USA, UK for my NRI fans’ foreign pals.”

Salman says he doesn’t idolise anyone but his father. “I think he is one of the most creative intelligent guy and even at 72 today, he leads the life he wants.” That brings us to the topic of Helen…and Salman says fondly, “I love her. My mother and she were best friends even before she married my father. My mother was upset for a while, but later everything was fine. Both my mothers are great women - my dad has excellent taste in women.” Does he inherit that and he admits, “I can go wrong sometimes.”

Talking about paintings which he has taken up big time these days, he says, “I do it because I have a charitable organisation and the money collected from my paintings helps the cause.  I know they would have no value without my signature on it. But at least I am better than a lot of artists who make something that no one understands and they have to explain and these paintings go away for crores of rupees. At least, you can tell what I havepainted.” 

Apart from painting Salman has a weird hobby, “I love riding rickshaws. When I was younger and needed pocket money, I used to drive my driver’s taxi. I still ride a rickshaw when I get time, but not very often.”
