Salman Khan: 'I don't feel pressure to compete'
25/ 1/2008
BOLLYWOOD'S Salman Khan told BBC Asian Network that he doesn't feel any pressure to compete with Bollywood A listers like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, or Saif Ali Khan.
Speaking on Love Bollywood to Raj&Pablo Salman said: "I don't compete with anybody. I don't compete with Shah Rukh I don't compete with Aamir, Saif or anybody. I don't compete with myself. So, they don't have a problem with me and they know that my house is an open house.
"I like the people that I work with, if I don't like them, I won't work with them"
Presenters Raj&Pablo asked Salman why he is so cagey about the work he does for charities, to which Salman replied: "I think it's a big fraud thing to publicise the stuff that you do becauseI've seen people going and doing stuff and the whole press is there.
"That's what I used to think actually, earlier. But today I feel that since I've opened this charitable trust - The Salman Khan Foundation - I have realised that you have to go out and you have to publicise that and I'm still not coming to terms with that because I feel like a fraud. I've seen a lot people who are doing a lot of good things with the all the wrong intentions and I don't think that works but if I can turn that around.
"The way I'm trying to do that is that I'm putting a lot of amy own money into the Foundation which people do not do".
He added: "I've started painting and from my art the money goes into my organisation and if I cannot support those many, if I cannot help those many lives with my kind of work that I do with whatever I do that amount 10-20 percent that goes into my charitable organisation I still can't support that many people I still can't treat that many people I will start begging, I will start extorting!"
