Day 3 - 10 Ka Dum

The third thing that really tilted my decision in favor of anchoring 10 Ka Dum is that the entire range of questions and answers were based on a sample survey. Even the simplest of the questions reveal glimpses of the mysterious Indian temperament. However, the greatest temptation to the show was direct interaction with common people.

We stars thrive on adulation and love of the common people and yet we get few chances of meeting them. It’s really a thrilling experience to meet common people. These are the people who elect politicians and create stars. They are also guided by their instincts. Probably this common factor, of instinct, has created tremendous emotional rapport between my fans and me. My contemporaries are highly educated & accomplished people and are very articulate. I am a simpleton in comparison. I know masses love me for what I am and I need not project an image for establishing any rapport with them.

I realized that 10 Ka Dum would give me an opportunity to meet real people. I have been watching faceless and nameless people all my life and now I have a unique chance to meet people- real people with names, addresses and definite identities.

The soul of Hindustan lives in them. I can feel that meeting people will purge me of a number of things and I am sure I will be able to rediscover myself in an altogether different light. Every single handshake will vibrate in my thought process for a very long time to come.

Heart has its reasons for all that you do…to know more be with me.

So nice to see you blog, Salman. Whose idea was it that you blog? If its Sony then its a very nice idea. Your thoughts are so clear. I cant believe that its actually you who is writing it. Its so nice.

Praveen M said...

Salman bhai u rock !!!! All salman fans including me are waiting for ur show !!!!

but my only request is to make sure that ur movies too release as soon as possible !!!! its been a long time since we had an out n out salman khan flick .. partner was the last ...its almost a year since this .. v r looking forward to flicks where u play a complete role .. please stop doing guest appearances bhai .. i got sick after watching movies like saawan , baabul and salaam e ishq , sawariya ... who used ur star value for creating the hype .. so please consider this request .. awaiting ur next flick GTGH !!! hope it'll create as much as partner if not more than it ...

Kajal said...

Not sure if u gonna read the comments here but sure hope that you do. You are a really nice human being but sometimes get into a mess because of your recklessness... and that is not a ideal to be set for the younger generation.So suggest that while you do show your innate sensibiliy on the show, please also take care not to say or do something which will make others copy you in a negative manner. Also wish to see you in more character roles and lesser comedy. You are a talented actor... dont waste it!!

Dear Mr Khan,

It would be great if you could also write a biography and come over to the trafford centre in manchester, UK on a book signing, it would be really good,

Anna from Germany said...

Dear Salman Khan,

it's great to see you blogging. Of course this blog is all about 10 Ka Dum, but there are fans of yours abroad (like me, living in Germany) who won't have the chance to watch that show.
Still we'd love to read more about your life and thoughts. The blog would be great medium to get to know you first-hand, and not edited by any journalist. So please keep it up and let us know more about you... :)
Kindest regards,
Anna

Rohan Mehta said...

Hi!!I am Rohan (21yrs) and I wanted to tell you something since a very long time.. I remember reading in your interview long time ago saying you regret acting in Suryavanshi.

BUT.. I have grown up watching that movie and believe me I do not miss it a single time it comes on tv.. Infact I have not returned the hired VHS. I have loved your action image.. Infact movies of all genres and your unique image.. And now looking forward to 10KD.

Best of luck!! And never think that your flops do not attract your fans..!! :)
