Salman Khan is basking in the success of his latest YRF venture, the third installment of Tiger franchise, Tiger 3, with Katrina Kaif. The actor, who is seen as one of the biggest superstars in the country, said that he rejects such terms, and urged others to stop using them for him.In a group interview, Salman told indianexpress.com that while he doesn’t consider himself a superstar, it is his walk that often gives a wrong impression. He said, “Whoever is a superstar in his mind is a superstar. I don’t think of that at all, so I am not. People like to be called superstars and megastars, that’s something that I don’t like.”“Stardom doesn’t show in the way I am, but I am sure it shows in my walk. My walk is considered to be an arrogant walk but that’s the way I walk and I cannot change that walk, and I am comfortable in that walk and I am comfortable in my skin. Sometimes it comes out in a way that ‘yeh dekho, inki chaal dekho, kya samajhte hai? (Look at him, his walk, what does he think of himself)?’ But I’ve been walking like that from childhood. Now if I walk like someone else then it won’t suit me. So, now this is who I am, what I do. But yes, I don’t believe in this superstardom, and I have not done anything that I can take the credit of superstardom. Everyone, from our DOP (director of photography) to the scriptwriter to the director help this normal average Bandra boy look heroic on screen. That credit, I don’t like taking alone at all.”Salman then addressed the lull that he faced in his career over the last few years when his films Antim and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan failed. He said, “The lows that you are talking about, the lows that I have been through, maybe the highest point of 99.9% of the country. So that low also, if I say that it was a low point for me then fans will say ‘yeh low hai toh hamara kya hai?’(If these are your lows then what about ours?) So I don’t consider that low also as a low.”
