★ Salman Khan talks about Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2 and Bigg Boss 6!
September 17, 2012
Despite making and breaking his own records by one hit after another, actor Salman Khan says that he is not setting any records as he believes in doing hard work which eventually results in good Box Office collections. Post his back-to-back hits - Dabangg (grossing Rs 215 crore), Ready (Rs 180 crore) and Bodyguard (Rs 230 crore), Ek Tha Tiger (Rs 198 crore) - not only the audience, but even producers are pining their hopes on doing a film with Salman.
“I am not setting any record. I work on something and give my best. Now that the shooting of Ek Tha Tiger is over I am concentrating on every shot of Dabangg 2. I do not think what the result will be, or what would be the TRP ratings of the show, or the Box Office result,” Salman told PTI in an interview.
After hits like Wanted (2009), Dabangg (2010), Bodyguard (2011), his last release Ek Tha Tiger had the highest opening day ever with a collection of about Rs 32 crore. The film also created a new record for being the fastest Rs 100 crore earning film at the Box Office. “All I try to do is give my best at that given point of a time…on that shot. So, I give my best there and if that comes correctly then these things follow. If your work is appreciated then these things follow,” he said.
The Dabangg Khan believes it is all about doing hard work as it yields results at the Box Office. “Like if I say a line which makes you laugh and now you are anticipating laughter you are not going to get it until and unless you say the line in a funny way. So basically, it is all about doing and enjoying your work to the best of your capability. If it is working today then good, but it may not work tomorrow,” he said.
Meanwhile, after several seasons of reality show Bigg Boss showing contestants fighting and hurling abuses, the sixth season will be a “family” one, host Salman has promised. “I get to watch all the episodes including those things that we can’t air on TV as it is completely messed up. We can show only certain things. So I know who is behaving in what way. Little fights and all people do enjoy, but when it goes overboard it’s irritating,” the actor said.
“People want to watch some nice things. And this time it will be a family show for the fact that we shifted it from 11 PM to 9 PM slot. As a channel, we try and put out as much decent things as we can,” he added.

Bollywood celebrities are capturing the small screen with different innovative ideas of reality shows. Aamir Khan came with Satyamev Jayate, Amiatbh Bachchan is currently hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati- season 6. Salman Khan is one celebrity, who is being repeated for the third time in Bigg Boss, something which has never happened before with any other celebrity.
The actor brings a different aura to the show and some suggest that he is influencing other actors for the same. When asked about the same, Salman says, “Really! I’m influencing people by this show? I have been to busy to notice.” When probed about Mr. Bachchan and how he’s changed his style of hosting KBC, Salman promptly says, “Mr. Bachchan has always been fun and chilled out.”
Commenting on Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate, he says, “I loved Aamir’s show, it was an extraordinary concept and he has done a good job.”
Now, it’s time to see if Big B has any comment on this one.
