Salman Khan is often tagged as Bollywood’s brat for a number of controversies and love affairs. His relationship with actress Aishwarya Rai was a well publicised topic in the Indian media. He quite often gets into legal trouble and had gone to jail for rash and negligent driving and for hunting an endangered species, the Chinkara.Despite all the controversies to his name, the moody hunk has a huge fan following. Often known as Bollywood's "bad boy," his knack of walking into trouble has overshadowed people's perception of him as an actor. He has been featured as the bad guy of the industry several times over. But many-a-common-man claims that this macho hunk has a heart made of pure gold.  Of late, there's been a strong buzz about Salman Khan's newest ladylove, Romanian actress Lulia Vantur. Reportedly, they've been dating for a while now. Lulia is in India and reports suggest that she is staying with Salman's parents in Mumbai.  While eyewitnesses claim to have spotted the two together, they've been careful to avoid the media glare. That ended when Salman flew in to Hyderabad for the shoot of Mental accompanied by Lulia on Thursday evening. Though the duo initially walked out of the airport together, on spotting waiting shutterbugs, they exited separately. While Salman posed, his friend Nadeem was seen shielding Lulia from the flashbulbs. And in a bid to divert media attention from her, Sallu decided to send her off to the hotel in the super luxury car booked for him. And what did he do instead? Well, he hailed a cab from the airport and hopped into it. Meanwhile, Telugu Desam Party vice-president, Mohammad Saleem, who was also at the airport at that time, had offered Salman his car so that the star could escape the chaos. But Sallu politely declined the offer and instead took a cab. Salman Khan stalled by 'Mental' fighters Crucial sequence in his upcoming film called off over a spat between action men from Hyderabad and Mumbai Salman Khan's shoot of Mental in Lavasa came to a screeching halt over simmering tension between action artistes from Mumbai and Hyderabad. The spat is over allegations that the production team is biased towardsBollywood performers. Trouble erupted over the weekend when 30 fighters from Hyderabad and Chennai were called in for an action sequence. Even as the crew prepared for the shoot, the group from the south realised that they were inadequately represented in comparison to their Mumbai peers. It emerged that there were only three Southern fighters for every seven from Bollywood. Even as they brought this to the notice of Salman and Sohail, it was made clear that no changes would be made to the ratio. The disgruntled fighters, some of whom had worked in the original film,Stalin, featuring Chiranjeevi, called up FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) officials in Mumbai, but only to be told that their argument held no water. Sounding a defiant note, a senior FWICE official, on condition of anonymity told TOI, "When they shoot Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or Kannada films in Mumbai, we ensure there are more representatives from the South in every department. Their demand for equal representation is unjustified." The fighters from the South also discovered that were being paid 50 per cent less than their Mumbai counterparts. Consequentially, they dug in their heels, and refused to participate in the shoot, despite repeated entreaties from Salman and Sohail. According to a source from the film unit: "The entire sequence has come to a standstill over this imbroglio." Two senior officials -Shiva and Vijayan - from the Film Employee's Federation of South India, are in Mumbai to end the impasse. The FWICE official added: "With neither of the parties willing to budge, this has become a rather sensitive matter."

When Salman Khan protected his ladylove from shutterbugs

 

Mumbai: Salman Khan is known to be quite a tough guy. The hunk of an actor is ‘Dabangg’ both on and off screen alike. And not just that, he loves playing a godfather to many in the business or beyond.

A lot has been spoken about Salman and his alleged ladylove Iulia Vantur. Speculations are rife that the 47-year-old superstar is seeing this Romanian beauty. And the two were spotted together at the Hyderabad airport recently, a daily reported.

When Khan realized that there was an avalanche of photographers outside the airport, he asked her to exit separately. He even asked her to take his luxury car to the hotel and hired a taxi for himself.

The actor was apparently in the city to shoot for his next - ‘Mental’.

Vantur happens to be a Romanian television actress and is believed to have known Salman for over two years now.

“Salman met her two years ago during one of his trips abroad. He has always been in touch with her and now they have become extremely fond of each other,” a tabloid quoted a source as saying earlier.

Salman Khan’s fans have been desperately waiting to see their idol tie the knot. But the actor is far from taking the marital plunge. Even his dear friend Aamir had once expressed his desire to see Salman settling down. But will Salman ever decide to get married is a million dollar question!

Personal Quotes

"There was a lot of Sack Lodges at my high school." - "Sack Lodge" is his character from Wedding Crashers (2005).
"I was in New York shooting "Law & Order" (1990) and the script came along, and I completely connected to it. From the first page, when he says, 'Ever since I was eight years old, I knew what I wanted to be.' When I was eight years old, I wanted to be a chef or an actor. I used to cook all the time. I worked in restaurants the first half of my life." - to The Boston Herald on getting the script for "Kitchen Confidential" (2005) (11/05)
I had size 12 feet when I was 10, so I thought I was going to be 6' 8". My goal was to be able to dunk a basket. I wound up being 6' 1" with size 14 feet. I got the raw end of the deal.
(2010, on his younger years) I never lived the life of 'Oh, you're so good-looking'. People thought I was a girl when I was little, because I looked like a girl-maybe because my mother would keep my hair really long in a bowl cut. I was in a coffee shop once and the waitress was like, 'What do you want, Miss?' I was 10 or 11-the worst age to have that happen. I had a jean jacket on and a Metallica pin. I thought I was really cool.
[2010, on the incredible shape he got into for The A-Team (2010) ] As the movie progressed, I got in increasingly better shape. There's this one fight scene with Liam Neeson toward the end, where it's, like, the apex of the work. We finished and Joe Carnahan's like, 'Brother, come here, look at this,' and he played it back, and I swear to God, it looked like my head was digitally superimposed onto someone else's body. I was like, 'This cannot be me-that's the way I look?' It was so fucking surreal, 'cause as a kid I only fantasized about looking that way. Remember Soloflex commercials? That was huge when I was a kid. It was like, 'I wanna be the Soloflex guy. Mom, can we get the Soloflex?'
(2010, on having to put himself on tape to send to casting directors when auditioning for roles as an aspiring actor) I'd love not to have to do that (anymore). I did it for this movie about UFC fighters a few years ago, and I didn't know anything about UFC fighters. I wore biking shorts. I was outside in my back yard in Venice, and I was, like, kicking the trash cans and shit. I didn't know what I was doing. I would love to fucking see that tape.
(2011) Todd Phillips gave Vespas to the cast of The Hangover Part II (2011) when we finished shooting. And I thought, a Vespa? What the heck kind of gift is that? I mean, it's nice, but I'll never drive it. But I tell you, I cannot stop riding that Vespa. I dream about it when I'm away. It's gotten to the point where I think I'm screwed: I'm starting to look at motorcycles.
[2009, on his 'nice guy' role in "Alias" (2001) and how it nearly typecast him] I remember that after I left Alias, people wouldn't even see me. I'd put myself on tape at home for all these roles because they were like, "Oh, no, no. Bradley. He's such a good guy. He can't play that." Then it was David Dobkin, I went in for him on Wedding Crashers (2005) and he had no idea what 'Alias' was or anything. So he hired me right away and that was the major break. Then after that everyone was like, "Well, isn't he kind of an asshole? I mean, really. I think he's kind of an asshole." Elia Kazan always said that if you're going to play a cowboy you better show up with a horse because no one sees anything but what you bring. It's funny but sometimes people stop me and they're amazed that I'm not a complete asshole. They expect me to be an asshole right away. I gained a lot of weight to do 'Wedding Crashers' too and they're like, "Oh man, I thought you were bigger" because I was 215 lbs for that movie and I'm usually 185 lbs. But to be opposite Vince Vaughn and believe that I could destroy him in a football game...
(2009, on his pets) I have two beautiful dogs that I cherish. Samson is a 14-year-old German short hair pointer and Charlotte is a 6 or 7 year-old Chow Retriever mix. They are both rescue dogs and they are the best ... I'm sort of a hybrid of both my dogs. Samson is stoic and makes me earn it and Charlotte loves me undyingly. They're my kids.
(2009) I seriously love to cook ... My grandmother was an amazing cook. As a kid I used to help her make handmade pasta, cavatelli and ravioli. It was one of my favorite things to do. I love the idea of making whatever is in the fridge into something.
(2011, on being considered a very successful actor after The Hangover (2009) become a huge hit) It doesn't feel that way. Thank you for saying that. Not the case, I gotta say, but it certainly provided more opportunities. Everybody who was a part of that movie, because it was so financially lucrative, benefited from it but I still put myself on tape for movies and try to get roles. It's the same, you know? It's the same. I mean, look, more doors have been opened for sure but it's not like I sit back with a cigar on Monday morning and go through the scripts that have been offered - no, that's not the case.
(2011, on how he spends his spare time) Eating. I eat a lot of food. I am a big eater.
[on the characters in Silver Linings Playbook (2012)] The fact that these guys are trying to adopt a positive attitude was really important to me. As Jack Nicholson always says, 'Try to incline yourself upwards as much as possible' because it is too easy in this world to incline yourself downwards. These people have every reason to incline themselves downwards, but they're trying to rebuild the economy of their lives. And that's why (they) aren't so fringy to me: they become the most sane people in the room.
Filming a movie with David O. Russell is an athletic endeavor. You are utterly drained at the end of the day because you have to be present at every turn, as if you're on a sports field. That high-octane rhythm demands that you stay in the moment and get out of your head. It's the only way you can be successful as an athlete. That's very scary for an actor.
[2012, on quitting drinking at age 29] I was at a party and deliberately bashed my head on the concrete floor. Like, 'Hey, look how tough I am!' I did it again. I spent the night at St. Vincent's Hospital with a sock of ice, waiting for them to stitch me up...I don't drink or do drugs anymore. Being sober helps a great deal... I remember looking at my life, my apartment, my dogs [when I was still using], and I thought, 'What's happening?' I was so concerned what [people] thought of me, how I was coming across, how I would survive the day. I always felt like an outsider. I just lived in my head. I realized I wasn't going to live up to my potential, and that scared the hell out of me. I thought, 'Wow, I'm actually gonna ruin my life. I'm really gonna ruin it'.
[on shooting The Hangover (2009) in Las Vegas] People did not react to us. That's the one thing about Vegas: They were completely indifferent. We would go in the elevator at 5 in the morning after shooting, and I had huge scratches on my head, full make-up, and they don't give a fuck. It was unbelievable.
I plead guilty to the accusation of working with people again and again. That's the goal, to create an artistic circle that works. If you look at any period of art that's really exploding, it's people collaborating again and again.
