Salman Khan
On playing a sportsperson:
I like being a sportsman, but some time ago I was told that I am not one. I believe that all those who play sports in school are a sportsman, those enjoying a game of cricket are also sports persons. Acting like a wrestler takes similar energy as a real one. The hard work does not come across unless you get into the flesh of it.
I went to Khar gymkhana and I played for about a week. I am not a morning person, and then I realised that getting up early was not for me. But when dad came to see me I was not playing properly. Arbaaz knows each and every player in the world and Sohail loves the sport because he has the CCL team. I play tennis ball and no one is allowed to be a Shoaib Akhtar.
On owning an IPL team:
As comfortably he spoke about Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta’s IPL team it looked like Salman Khan considered both the celebrity’s teams as his own. When asked if he wants to own an IPL team, Salman responded saying, “Shah Rukh and Preity Zinta have one, that is enough.”
Anushka Sharma:
I watched a lot of films of his. The first memory of his is when I met him for the first time for this film. When I entered Yash Raj studio looking for everyone, I saw that Salman Khan was lying on the floor. The case with Salman Khan is what you see is what you get. You don’t have to read between lines and very easy going.
On training for her role:
Training was definitely difficult. As an actor, training is routine and regular. But for a sport, the training is very specific. It was something new that I got to learn, but that is the beauty of being an actor. While it was difficult I am happy I got to play a wrestler in this lifetime.
