A lot of people think he is one of the very few genuine macho men of Bollywood. Perhaps he is. However, not many know that deep inside he can be a softie who can be moved by the tiniest of emotional moments.
Salman Khan is these days busy filming for Sultan in which he plays the role of a wrestler. During the recording of a song, Jug ghumya, Sallu mian felt so touched by the lyrics of the track that tears began to trickle down his cheeks.
The song is about a guy who trots the globe only to discover his real self. You may wonder what’s in it that made the actor mushy and gooey. Well, the globetrotting could be a metaphor for all the friends that he has made over the years who he dumped, or they dumped him, during the course of his career. Just a thought, if you know what I mean.
