I have seen many teachers in real life, which come from the same background and morality and treat their profession like just another one rather than a noble profession.

In Mumbai, you have to act in real life, too.

Many actors come and disappear into oblivion. But not Salman Khan.

Most people go to ashrams or retreats to destress and rejuvenate themselves. But I come back to my roots, the place where I spent half my life. And when I return, I spend time in the farms, eating a stalk of sugarcane, driving a tractor, and chilling with childhood friends.

There was electricity in our village only for 2-3 hours a day, so all my life, I studied under a lamp.

Background scores allow me an absolute flight of the imagination, and I travel in my mind's eye. I do not like the scores to have vocal notes, because they act as a limitation to these flights of fancy.
