You will never guess what Salman Khan’s biggest phobia is!

Salman Khan is one of the most eligible bachelors we have in Bollywood. Even at the age of 53 years, the actor is fit as a fiddle and has a physique to die for. However, behind all this machismo, there is a part of the actor that is afraid of something and you will never guess what it is!

In Kapi Sharma’s comedy reality show, Salman Khan reportedly revealed that he has a phobia of closed-door lifts. He added that he gets afraid of traditional compact lifts. According to the actor he has a fear that the nut bolts connected to lifts might slip up. Well, this might certainly surprise his fans!

Even Katrina Kaif was asked the same question to which she replied that she is scared of cockroaches and spiders.

The two are busy promoting their upcoming film, ‘Bharat’, which also stars Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff, Tabu, Sunil Grover and others in pivotal roles. The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial is all set to hit the theatres on June 05, 2019.

Salman Khan opens up on the failure of ‘Tubelight’

Salman Khan undoubtedly has a crazy fan following in India which also makes him one of the most bankable actors in Bollywood. His movies failing at the box-office is rather a rare phenomenon. One such movie was ‘Tubelight’ which apparently failed to impress his fan base and the audience in general.

Opening up about the same, Salman Khan reportedly said that the film released on the occasion of Eid which was one of the reasons the film did not work. According to him, people were in a joyous mood on the festive occasion and they came out of the theatres crying. Salman also added that he had urged the makers to push the release date of the film and not release on Eid. ‘Tubelight’ also featured, Sohail Khan and Om Puri in pivotal roles.

On the work front, the actor will now be seen in his upcoming film ‘Bharat’ which will also feature Katrina Kaif, Jackie Shroff, Disha Patani, Tabu, Sunil Grover and others in pivotal roles. The film is slated for an Eid release this year.

This is what Salman Khan thinks about ‘love at first sight’ concept

Salman Khan is undoubtedly one of the most eligible bachelors in B-town. Although there have been several reports on his rumoured affairs and relationships, the actor has never come out in open about it.

Recently, when he was asked what he thinks about the concept of ‘love at first sight’, he reportedly said that it happens to him every time. The actor, who has been asked time and again about his marriage, has always maintained that he is not ready to get married.

On the work front, the actor will next be seen in Ali Abbas Zafar’s ‘Bharat’ alongside Katrina Kaif. He is currently busy promoting the upcoming film of his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma ‘Loveyatri’ which also stars debutant Warina Hussain.

Salman Khan says casting a star in film doesn’t guarantee success any more

Salman Khan is among the actors in Bollywood who command a very strong and large fan base across the country. He was once called an actor whose mere presence can make a film work.
However, the superstar now thinks otherwise. Speaking about casting stars in films, Salman reportedly said that casting a star in a film does not guarantee a film’s success and that his last outing ‘Tubelight’ proved so.
According to reports, the actor stated that he has established himself as an action hero and now his fans hate to see him teary-eyed. Salman apparently realised the fact that his followers couldn’t digest the fact that their ‘Bhai’ was getting beaten up in the film. Khan also added that although his fans watched the movie, they did not go back again and so it reportedly lacked the repeat value that his other films had.

Salman Khan's candid confessions

Not the loyal types

In a Bombay Times report, Salman Khan hasconfessed that he is not a loyal type of a person and is not at all romantic. On being asked as to why does he feel that he is not romantic, Salman said that he feels that he is romantic but others don't feel the same. He feels he is not romantic because he can't go out for candle light dinners, cannot hold his gf's hand in public as he feels holding hands in public is PDA and he will never promote it. He confessed that he had gone on a candlelight dinner only twice in his lifet and that too had ended on a bad note. So he usually avoids going out for dinners.

About his past relationships

Salman Khan had confessed that he doesn't like to face his exes and tries to ignore them as much as possible because he simply doesn't want their past to effect their present. He stated, "Some I totally ignore, others I try and run away from them. I don't face them simply because I don't want our past to affect their present life.” May be that is the reason as to why he never comes face to face with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. On the other hand, on a TV show, he was overheard complaining that Katrina had been of no use to him.
