Actor Salman Khan has revealed a stunning fact about his personal life: he has not gone out to supper in the last 25 years. He noted that his life revolves mostly around his business and travel obligations, summarising his daily schedule as “bas ghar se shooting, airport, ya hotel”.
Salman attended the Red Sea Film Festival on Thursday and participated in a session where he shared insights on his life and career. Several videos from the session have been shared on social media.
Salman Khan talks about his personal life
During the talk at the film festival, Salman also discussed the loss of close friends and admitting to times of complacency in his career as an actor. “Most of my life I’ve always been around my family and friends, jismein se kafi nikal li hain aur bas bhi 4-5 hi hain jo bahut phele se hain mere saath (I have lost a few of my close friends, and now just have 4-5 of them with me now. They have been with me for a long time),” Salman mentioned on the stage.
Salman went on to share, “25-26 saal hogaye hain ke main kahin bahar dinner pe nahi gaya hoon. Shooting se ghar, ghar se shooting, ghar se airport, airport se hotel aur hotel se yahan. That’s it. This is my life (I haven’t stepped out for dinner in the last 25 years. My life is all about going to shoot, airport, hotel or to the event and then back to the shoot).”
Salman Khan on whether he has any regrets
When asked whether he regrets it, Salman shared, “And I don`t mind it… Ya toh yeh chaiyeh ke aap ghumo phiro aur yeh sab na ho, that is something that I don’t want. Itni izzat dete hai aur pyaar dete hain.. Ussi ke liye mehnat karta hun… Beech beech mein thodha complacent ho jaata hun.. But usko bhi enjoy karta hun kyeh sochke ke aa gaye kya aane wala hai.”
Which translates to, “Either you want to wander around and have none of this, which is something I don’t want. They give so much respect and love… that’s why I work so hard. Every now and then, I do get a little complacent… but I also enjoy it, thinking about what’s coming next and what the future holds”
This was his second time attending the Red Sea festival, when he also met Hollywood icon Johnny Depp. On Wednesday, Salman attended the Golden Globes gala dinner at the film festival. Several photographs from the dinner were posted on the film festival`s official Instagram account. The shots show Salman alongside Idris Elba, Edgar Ramírez, and other attendees during the meal.
