Awards don’t matter to Salman

Is the actor emulating friend Aamir Khan?

Salman Khan

Salman is known for his fondness for Aamir Khan. But while he obviously can’t emulate him in movies, it seems he is taking a leaf out of Aamir’s book in other aspects of life – for instance, his aversion towards award ceremonies.

With four big hits behind him, naturally one would assume that Sallu would be already rehearsing his speeches for the awards season coming up next year. But trust Salman to shock us. At a recent event, the actor made his dislike for such functions known when he admitted that he couldn’t care less about awards!

Last year, he had surprised fans and the film industry when he left from an awards function just minutes before he was to receive the Best Actor trophy. As is his wont, there was no explanation forthcoming which led to all sorts of speculations. But recently when asked to comment on the episode, Salman said he had no regrets about leaving the show. He was just happy that his movies made money at the BO and that people loved him. Awards didn’t matter to him.

Aamir would certainly be proud of his friend!
