Sunday, November 13, 2011

Salman Khan is all set to bowl his UAE fans with his charismatic presence in the Celebrity Cricket League to be held in Sharjah next year.
In this exclusive Salman talks about surgery, kids and Bollywood’s younger generation
Excerpts:
1. What is it like playing in Sharjah?
Firstly, it feels great to be part of Celebrity Cricket League and Sharjah being our home ground (Mumbai Heroes) adds that extra excitement. Feels great to be here.
2. Have you watched any matches played in Sharjah?
This stadium is a historic venue. As a kid we have watched so many cricket matches being played here. I am glad that Sohail has chosen Sharjah Cricket Stadium as Mumbai Heroes’ home ground.
3. Any memorable Sharjah match?
Miandad hitting a six off last ball against India in Sharjah cup final 1986, bowler was Chetan Sharma. It was such a close match and India lost it.
4. Team India has not visited this region for some time…
That’s why we are here to promote the match and the stadium.
5. Do you think Team India should resume playing matches here and we should see more India-Pakistan matches being played?
Yes of course they should visit. They should play.
6. What other sports you like to play?
I love sports. I like cycling, swimming. I also enjoy tennis a lot.
7. Who is your favourite cricketer?
None other than Sachin Tendulkar
8. Do you enjoy watching any other team play cricket other than Team India for their skills?
I don’t follow cricket much these days. Don’t get that much time anymore. I am sure my fans will like to see me spending more time making movies than sitting in front of TV watching cricket.
9. How do you feel being called the sexiest Bollywood star?
I don’t take these things seriously. They don’t matter to me much. I feel nothing at all.
10. Who among the young stars do you think looks promising in the industry?
I think there are many of them. There’s Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan. Arjun Kapoor also looks promising among the newer ones.
11. Who among the ladies do think will top the charts?
Katrina Kaif is good. I think she’s going to be there for quite some time.
12. Are you dating someone?
(Long pause)….Let me think………ahhhh. I don’t know. I forgot actually…ahh I don’t know.
13. Do you ever want to get married?
(Again a pause) I have been thinking about it. I have been married four times earlier (jokes). But it hasn’t worked out for me. But I will try for the fifth time (laughs).
14. Do you like kids?
I love kids.
15. Do you prefer kids or beautiful ladies around you?
Any day, I will love to have kids around me more.
16. You have resumed work after your surgery. Are you feeling fine now?
I have gone through this surgery to fix whatever went wrong. I hope it’s fixed. I am feeling better now. I will have to go back once more to check if it has been actually fixed.
17. Are your fans going to see you on field playing cricket?
Unfortunately I won’t be playing this time. Due to my health conditions I will have to stay out of the field this time. But I will be here every time Mumbai Heroes play. I will always be there cheering for them.

“The best phase of my career is yet to come.”/”I won’t die [in Ek Tha Tiger]” -@BeingSalmanKhan
Salman Khan brings Sonakshi Sinha and Kangna Ranaut with him to open the innings for next year’s Celebrity Cricket League in Sharjah.
Manjusha Radhakrishnan | November 14, 2011

Bollywood actor Salman Khan arrived in Dubai at the weekend with a star-studded entourage to start the second season of the Celebrity Cricket League in Sharjah, to be held on January 13 and 14. Khan, the face of the Mumbai Heroes — a team filled with Bollywood actors — promised to up the team’s game and demolish their opponents, the Chennai Rhinos and Karnataka Bulldozers.
“As stars, we only like to bowl and bat. Fielding and taking catches were not important in our eyes, that’s where we went wrong. But we will be back with a strong fielding attack,” said Khan.
Though the Bodyguard star will not play in the game due to his ongoing nerve disorder, he promised to lend his moral support by cheering his boys on from the sidelines.
Hopefully he’ll get some tips from the two cheerleaders who accompanied him at the press conference — his three-time co-star Sonakshi Sinha, and Fashion actress Kangna Ranaut.
Player 1: Salman Khan
Bollywood idol Salman Khan’s films are critic-unfriendly but his box office hold is becoming invincible. Take his latest blockbuster, Bodyguard: he plays Lovely Singh, a man who can leap from trains and bash up baddies single-handedly, all the while holding onto the helpless damsel with his free hand. Each blow he dishes out is accompanied by crackling sound-effects, making him out to be an indestructible force.
He’s even been bestowed the epithet of being Bollywood’s answer to Rajnikanth, the South Indian grand-daddy who oozes style while executing unbelievable on-screen antics.
But Khan, 46, shrugs off the title and says there can only be one Rajnikanth.
You have enjoyed a phenomenal run at the box-office with Bodyguard and Ready. How are you taking it all in?
Now that these films are a hit and have become a phenomenon, it feels good. But I have always believed never to expect anything till the audience haven’t give the go-ahead. If they haven’t liked your film, my efforts are useless. I may feel that I have made the best film on earth, spent ludicrous amounts of money [on it], but if the audience straight out rejects it, then what’s the point of it all?
I want the audience to go and enjoy my films. I don’t care for the rest.
How are you feeling health-wise after the surgery?
My health is fine, but I just need to take it easy for a while. The pain is gone, but the aneurism is still there. I am going back to the US soon for another check-up. If the aneurism is a size smaller, then we may have to take it off again.
Did you have to slow down because of the nerve problem?
I can’t slow down, even in the literal sense. In my next film, Ek Tha Tiger, I have to run really fast and kick really high. And since I had to begin shoot immediately after the surgery, I couldn’t take the rest that I was originally asked to take. But I feel good.
Ek Tha Tiger is creating a lot of buzz. Is it bigger and better than Bodyguard?
I don’t know about that. I prefer calling it Tiger, because when you translate it word by word it means “there was a tiger”. Somehow, it gives our audience the feeling that my character will die at the end of the film. But I won’t die.
You are being touted as the Rajnikanth of Bollywood. How do you take that?
No, that’s not true. Rajnikanth is in a different league altogether. I just try and do my bit. I try and select films that are good for me and based on what I would go and watch in a theatre personally.
Perhaps I have been lucky with it so far. But there may come a time when I may go a bit overboard with the action sequences and the audience may go: “Itna bhi nahi yaar, aisa kya thodi hota hai” [Not so much, pal, this is too much for us to digest]. And that film might not go down well with the audience.
Right now, I am holding on to the table as tight as I can and enjoying the run.
Would you call this the best phase of your career?
No. The best phase of my career is yet to come. I am not done here.
