I Would Have To Lie a Lot If I Write an Autobiography: Salman Khan
Salman Khan gets candid when questioned about his plans to write an autobiography
A day before his film’s release Salman Khan along with father Salim Khan and director Kabir Khan came together for the book launch of Geography with Bajrangi Bhaijaan by Tanvi Bhat. A brainchild of Salim Khan, the book aims to teach Indian geography to kids through illustrations.
Since the time of the book launch coincided with the time most kids got free from school, a huge crowd of school children stood outside the venue chanting Salman’s name as the press conference went on inside. Salman greeted the school kids and signed a few autographs before and after the event, even as the children almost went berserk seeing their favourite actor.
During the conference, a child shouted, “I love you Salman!” in response to which, Salman sportingly sang “You are my love, janejaa you my love…”, from his film Partner. Post this, Salim Khan was asked if he noticed that Salman had the makings of a great father and when does he think that will happen? Well, the senior Khan seemed to have given up on this question too, he just smiled and said, “Even God can’t answer this question.”
When asked if Salman would be interested in a biography or an autobiography written about his life the star laughed uncontrollably, “How interested is everyone in my life. I don’t think that will be possible because I am a follower of Bajrang Bali and I don’t lie and if the book were to be written, I would have to lie a lot!”. That’s a candid Salman for you.
