WHAT DID I SAY?

+ When asked about the small screen competition with 67-year-old Amitabh, Salman said, “There is no competition. We are two different personalities, we have different styles; so there is no comparison. I don’t think I can host KBC the way he does.”

+ Marriage involves two person’s. If I could get married to myself, I would have been married a long time ago.

+ Tere Naam was a beautiful love story but I wouldn’t want something like what happened to Radhey to happen to anyone. The last 15 minutes were really heart-wrenching. It made me very sad.

+ My role in Tere Naam is of an obsessed lover. I haven’t done anything special or great in it (Tere Naam)… what I have done, besides growing my hair in the first half? And in the second half, my hair was short and I had no dialogues. I was just sitting in one corner.

+ I am comfortable with all scripts, but to do comedy you need a very different mindset. If I am in a bad mood and disturbed in my personal life, it is very difficult for me to perform a good comedy role. I am trying hard to see that my personal life does not reflect on my professional life. I really envy people who do a good job professionally despite the fact that their personal life is in trouble. I have tried to follow their footsteps but I find it difficult.
