Actor Salman Khan's last release, Race 3, couldn't do wonders at the Box Office. However, Salman is patient. He says he is an entertainer and doesn't think much while doing a film. All he wants is to make people laugh and deliver a film that they can watch with their families without any hustle.
In an in-depth interview with a leading entertainment magazine, one of the most influential Khans in Bollywood, opened up on many things, including how does he maintain a work-life balance when there's always some kind of upheaval going in his personal life.
Salman says the key is to just never take things for granted. He told in the interview, "I've learnt that you can't take anything for granted. To stay on the top, you need to fight. To get past unfortunate happenings you need to fight. Also, something which is a challenge, not just for me but any other actor, is that even though you're going through trouble, you have to be out there promoting your film, romancing your heroines. And if you're on TV, you've got to be laughing and joking. People on the other side think, issko toh kuchh farak hi nahi padta (it makes no difference to him). They don't understand it's our job. No matter how down you are, how messed up you are, that shot has to be done right. You have to make people laugh on the show even though you could be going through so much."
The actor also opened up on his state of mind when his brother, Arbaaz Khan got embroiled in the IPL betting controversy. He said, "When Arbaaz (Khan) was summoned (IPL betting case), I had to attend the Race 3 press conference. You can’t show what you're going through. People, who've taken time out to watch you on TV or on social media, are there to enjoy. You can't be depressed while promoting a film. That's a battle that one will always have to fight. Personally, you could be down and out but you can't ever show it. That can also go against you. Like some judge or a public prosecutor or some people will judge you saying, his verdict is coming up but he's busy laughing and joking. But this is my job. I have to do this no matter what my parents, my family, my friends and I are going through".
The actor also mentioned in the interview that he is in a happy phase in his life currently. He revealed it's blessing that his work makes him happy and he can always come back to his family after a long tiring day.
