'I have learnt so much from 10 Ka Dum'



Salman Khan has started his innings in television with 10 Ka Dum, and he seems very happy about his show. We quizzed the star about his experience and if we can expect to see Katrina Kaif on the show anytime soon. Excerpts:

Are you enjoying yourself on the show?
Yeah. I love it because the people, who come for the show, are very good and rational. There is no difference between them and me. Everybody needs money but when they are out of the show, they don't have regrets. They leave the show with in a happy frame of mind and that's commendable. I am proud of the citizens of this country.

I feel good that my mindset and way of thinking is very similar to those who participate in the show. It's only now that I have finally understood why I am at this level. It's because I think in a similar way as the others.



In this one-hour show, you have to do things impromptu. Was it difficult?
No. It's great fun that I get to speak from my heart. There are times when whatever I say sounds good while at other times, it might not sound good to others.

Did you learn anything from any contestant?
I have learnt so many things from this show. The biggest lesson is that you have to laugh whenever you are tensed.




Will you rope in other celebrities on the show?
I think I will invite Sanjay Dutt and Govinda. Aamir Khan, Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh just recorded an episode for us. Whenever such celebrities come, then winning money is not their primary concern. They donate their money to charity.

When will Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan come for your show?
I don't know about Katrina but we will bring in SRK. But a formal invitation is yet to be given.

Do you think celebrities are necessary to sustain interest for the show?
Let me tell you one thing. The intention of this show is not to up its TRP ratings by roping in celebrities at regular intervals. The only intention of this show is that if a celebrity comes in and wins money, it will go to a charitable institution. If a contestant wins money, he will be able to support his or her family.



So how popular is Salman Khan? Is it 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent or 100 percent?
It's 0 percent because mere talking amounts to nothing. If I were to say 100 percent, that would amount to nothing either. It hardly matters if it's zero or 100. You can see how popular Salman Khan is.

What did your father Salim Khan like 10 Ka Dum?
He said that the show is very good. But he said that I need to work harder. It's a big responsibility on my shoulders and everything has to be done seriously. This time, it's a different platform and I want to take the show to a different level. He told me that the show must be taken to a different level so that people respect me.

It was reported that Katrina wasn't given good treatment at Bangkok for the IIFA awards. Is it true?
I am not her secretary. She is a grown up and intelligent person, who can sort out her own problems.

Salman will marry Katrina for sure

Salman KhanMarriage is bound to happen sooner or later. It was remarked by Salman Khan when he was asked about his marriage with Katrina Kaif. He squashed off all the rumors and claimed that he is very serious about Katrina and deeply in love with her. Sallu who is not in favor of speaking about his private life in public has finally opened his heart after all types of false rumors. He further added that he will marry kat and fulfill the wish of his parents.

In a span of five years, many controversies had punched Salman and Katrina's relationship but every time Katrina defended her boyfriend. When the slapping story and Kat's getting cozy with Akshay Kumar broke out, Katrina like a sincere partner guarded her boyfriend and cursed media for spreading wrong rumors about them. In spite of those disgraceful stories, Katrina never spoke a word against him and always stood by his side. Regardless of those rumors, they found together in various occasions. Kat always play a perfect host to Salman's guests whenever he throws any party to his friends.

It was Salman who has decorated the career of Katrina. It is said that he introduced her to top fraternities of Bollywood and helped her to shine in B-Town. Having poor frequency in Hindi, he has helped her to improve her fluency. Today, he has again landed on the field with full force to promote his would be sister-in-law's Asabela's career. Knowing Asabela's interest in films, he introduced her to many top class filmmakers. He has decided his home production Yuvraj to be the launching pad of Asabela.

Katrina mingles with his family quite well and they too have expected her as Sallu's bride. Now that Salman has broken his silence and opened his heart regarding his love relationship and marriage with Katrina, we can surely expect marriage on the cards in near future.

Currently Salman and Katrina are both in Mumbai though Salman will fly to Australia next week for Main Aur Mrs Khanna and Katrina has given the mahurat shot for Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab kahani with Ranbir Kapoor in Mumbai. Looks like the two will miss each other sorely during the time their time apart. Whenever the two are in town you can spot them at the Bandstand Barista outlet, The CCD outlet at Carter Road and Katrina loves to hang out at the coffe shop at Taj Lands End in Bandra. They also attend private parties together, like the Shatranj Napoli one for instance, following which Salman drove her home in an auto rickshaw. Katrina also stays two buildings away from Salman's Galaxy Apartments. Here is how they have been there for each other over the last few months.

A source tells us, "In the past 3-4 months, Katrina has been very busy shooting abroad. She shot for Singh is Kinng in Australia, she went to London and then to Egypt for a song. After that she flew to Bangkok for the IIFAs and came back to Mumbai. Currently, she is in Mumbai. Salman, on the other hand, was shooting for wanted: Dead and Alive in India when she was shooting abroad and last month he shot for Main Aur Mrs Khanna in Australia. Currently he is shooting for Dus Ka Dum in Mumbai and wrapping up Yuvraaj as well."

The source adds, "Katrina and Salman meet up all the time whenever they are in Mumbai. In March, when they were shooting for Yuvraaj in Panvel, Katrina and Salman stayed together at Salman's farmhouse over there, instead of commuting everyday. On the last day of the shoot, Katrina hosted a party at Salman's farmhouse for the entire cast and crew of the film."

Katrina was also present with Salman and his family during rehearsals for Dus Ka Dum.



On his TV show, celebrity guests Yuvraj and Harbhajan told him that they like Katrina Kaif. So he replied "mujhe bhi woh bahut pasand hai." In another interview, he admitted to seeing Katrina. He has also said that though he wants to get married, only destiny will decide when. The lady in question, who is also close to Salman's family members, feels that a relationship matters only if it culminates in marriage. She has never spoken about her relationship with Bollywood's oldest bachelor openly, but she has neither denied nor confirmed it, choosing not to comment or using the typical phrase "we are just good friends"

'Govinda's history, Salman is hero No 1'

MUMBAI: Well-known Bollywood producer Pahlaj Nihalani, who was instrumental in shaping actor Govinda's career with his first hit 'Ilzaam', says Salman Khan is currently ruling the comedy circuit and is the best comic actor.

"Though I have not worked with Salman till now, but I think in the industry today, he is the best actor as far as comic timing is concerned. He can play any kind of role but in comedy he is number one," Nihalani, who has completed 30 years in the industry, said.

Nihalani claims that his hit comic caper 'Shola Aur Shabnam', starring Govinda and late Divya Bharti, popularised comedy in Bollywood. The film was directed by David Dhawan.

"My film 'Shola Aur Shabnam' was a trendsetter in comedy films. People did not like to watch comedy before that, but after that viewers don't like to watch anything besides comedy," said Nihalani, who also produced blockbuster comedy "Aankhen" in 1993.

Nihalani is also known for introducing actors like Govinda, Suniel Shetty, Neelam Kothari, Chunky Pandey, and Divya Bharati, among others. Now he is bringing two newcomers Rishi Rehan and Avantikka in 'Khushboo', releasing Friday.

"I always believe in introducing new talents as they do not have an image. Besides, I feel the country is brimming with talent and we as responsible producers should provide them a chance to prove their mettle."

His next will be a sequel to the 1993 hit 'Aankhen' that will see most of the original cast. The producer said he is also planning to make a film based on the true story of Kandahar plane hijack in 1999.

Sallu's angry with God

Salman Khan, who plays a frustrated TV journalist Arun in God Tussi Great Ho, vents all his all anger at God played by Amitabh Bachchan.

Revealing the plot, director Rumi Jaffrey says, "Arun is very depressed as everything goes wrong in his professional as well as his love life. His colleague Rocky (Sohail Khan) gets all the praise at work while even his love Alia (Priyanka) who is a TV anchor is also impressed by Rocky. Arun has a habit of constantly having a fighting with God but the latter does come to his rescue. God tells him that for 7 days he will get all the power of God and can fulfill all his wishes."

Adds the director, "Amitabh gave me certain tips for the role. The character will have certain elements which will add humor to the story. The God makes some funny sounds and troubles Arun (Salman Khan). He liked the script and the concept of God and sometimes he used to behave like God. He liked the film very much. He was very much attached to the script and it was quite interesting that he was simultaneously acting as a God and Bhoothnath. In fact, once he came in Bhoothnath get up which really scared us."

About the chemistry between Salman and Big B, he says, "It is really very good. There was no problem even though the Abhi-Ash marriage was being planned at that time."

God Tussi Great Ho is slated to release on August 15 and will clash with Bachna Aae Haseeno.

I am no saint either admits Salman Khan

Bollywood hunk Salman Khan, who is now the host of the reality game show 'Dus Ka Dum', feels that the show has helped him to understand people and he believes that the best books of knowledge are human beings.

''Dus Ka Dum' has given me a platform to increase my understanding of people and appreciation of life, ' Salman wrote in his blog.

He finds it a little difficult to understand people but his senses help him in the process. He wrote: 'Though these human books are a little difficult to read, the heart and eyes alone help to read them.'

The contestants, who come on his game show, seem to be the reason behind the actor's new found 'understanding' of people.

'What has really surprised me is that my contestants do not hesitate in revealing their personal things in front of the camera, ' Salman said.

'Personal fears and dreams are on display with gay abandon, ' he added.

The actor thinks that the sets of his show have in a way become a place where people come and confess. 'In certain respects our set becomes a confession room and I am enjoying the role of a confidante, ' he stated.

He explains how he is no saint and that personal feelings do come in during these so-called confessions.

He said: 'If we extend this metaphor further, the confidante here is no saint and personal feelings are no crime.'

Salman doesn't want anymore sisters


Well this is what Salman said to a contestant recently! There are married women contestants who are willing to re-marry the star, some drop on their knees and propose to him… and there are some who just want to get closer and hug him!

Surprisingly this week there is a contestant Manpreet Singh who came in with his sister Supreeet on the show. Manpreet from Kolkata looked like Salman's mirror image (sans the muscles) and wanted to ape the star but his sister chose to tie a rakhi instead.

When Supreet told Salman that she was going to tie him a rakhi, Salman said, "I already have 2 sisters". Supreet wasn't easily going to give up, she instead and told him, "Itna accha mauka toh mein nahin jaane dungi, aapko toh bhai banake hi chhodungi" (I wont let this chance go and will definitely make you my brother).

And Supreet finally did get her way with the star.
