Salman Khan thanks the three F's in his life!

Salman Khan - the name that makes the fans go woohoo and his mere smile drives girls crazy. He has been living the true star life and he thanks god for the blessings showered upon him and keeping his F's strong that makes him drive the B-town with pride and yet single. 

Talking to a tabloid, the actor mentioned that he might not remain single forever - and marriage is on charts any moment but for the time being it is his movie 'Ek Tha Tiger' that is his concentration. The actor said that he is happy to have done the role is excited to see its release in few weeks to come.

In all the ups and downs through his career - he thanked the three important F's of his life - Family, Friends and Fans - and he feels that without them he might be a different person altogether.

The actor also said that he has been dragged into controversies for no concrete reasons and has been subjected to undue criticism. And hence, he prefers to keep mum on issues that show him in bad light.

And on being asked whether he has now got used to all the brickbats, the actor said, “I feel blessed that I haven’t seen or felt real pain to be immune to it. But I am dreading the time it comes. I feel blessed to have everything going fine. My parents’ health is good, my brothers are well-settled, I have a great brother-in-law and my own career is doing fine. I hope and pray that I am fit and fine always.” 

Bless you Salman :)

Kabir Khan - Friendship and Fights with Salman

Even friends of Salman Khan would admit the fact that its tough at the start to be with Salman Khan, so has Kabir Khan, the director of the movie Ek Tha Tiger accepts - he was talking to TOI recently. "I will be honest. It took time for Salman and me to come on the same page. There were teething issues on how we look at the scenes and his character." says Kabir Khan.

In fact, Kabir revealed that perhaps they pushed the actor a bit too far when it came to the action sequences. "But after we learnt about his illness, we got scared and were careful. In fact, we have used a body double as much as any other filmmaker would," said Kabir.

Speaking about the stunt sequences in the movie Kabir Khan was open to what he wanted  "We did not use cables like in other films. I did not want Salman to look like a superhero but a fit and agile man. I don't want to sound pompous but this film is going to redefine action in Hindi cinema. The action sequences take the story forward and are different from what Salman has so far done in his career. There has to be an attempt to reintroduce the actor," Kabir told TOI.

"Salman reports on the sets on his own time. He does not start his day early. And he was clear about it before we went on floors. But once he is on the sets, he is all yours till you wrap up. So well, you just have to plan your day with him intelligently," explained the director.

Fights with Katrina Kaif on Costumes

"Katrina and Salman go back a long way. He was very involved in their scenes together and her costumes. They have a certain equation. Even Salman seeks her opinion. But yes, there was an incident where they disagreed over Katrina's costume in the song. It was over a particular cut in the black blouse she has worn with a yellow skirt." says the director.

After all, the director revealed, "Salman has had a say in many things that have gone into Ek Tha Tiger." A dress is perhaps just a small part.

Its coming hard on both director and actors but they still say that Salman is close to their hearts!
