After taking over Bollywood, Salman Khan is set to sizzle on the small
screen. Despite many ups and downs in his professional as well as
personal life, he still has the kind of charisma that lets him connect
with audiences.
With a host of reality shows hosted by Bollywood’s
top stars, Salman just had to join the gang. On June 6, he makes his
debut with Dus Ka Dum. Extremely excited about the show, Salman has
even experimented with his looks and is rehearsing constantly. After
all, he will be competing with King Khan himself.
For Salman, the
journey in tinsel town has been interesting. Despite having begun his
career as a supporting actor in Biwi Ho To Aisi, he garnered enough
attention to get many lead offers. His career changed with Rajshri
Production’s Maine Pyar Kiya as he bagged the Filmfare Best Debutante
Award for his portrayal of a lover boy. Since then, his big list of
hits has included Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Kuch Kuch
Hota Hai, Tere Naam, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and No Entry. Salman has
worked with most producers and directors, and there is no doubt his
professional life is going places.
Having said that, his personal
life still seems to be in an eternal state of turmoil. First he was
associated with Somy Ali, only to break it off. Then walked in
Aishwarya Rai and the two became the focus of tabloid attention. That
relationship was followed by the entry of gorgeous Katrina Kaif. Now
issues between the two seem to have cropped up.
Often known as
Bollywood’s bad boy, Salman’s knack of walking into trouble has
overshadowed people’s perception of him as an actor. In 1998 he was
arrested for killing protected wild animals and spent about a week
behind bars. He also has other cases to face. Let’s hope his television
debut marks a new innings.
