Humility isn’t often synonymous with superstardom, but Salman Khan embodies it in a resurfaced interview that’s captivating netizens. Speaking to Lahrein TV years ago, the megastar revealed he didn’t sweat buckets for hits like ‘Karan Arjun’ and ‘Tere Naam,’ crediting others for their shine.
Rakesh Roshan’s ‘Karan Arjun’ (1995) remains a benchmark for multi-starrer spectacles. Salman shares he coasted through his part while the team—cast, crew, director—delivered peak performance. The film’s superhit status funneled praise his way, a dynamic he finds amusingly mismatched.
‘Tere Naam’ (2003) followed suit. Salman’s character, marked by sparse lines and basic looks—from bangs to bald—relied on story depth. No dramatic monologues or method acting; just raw emotion fueled by superior direction, screenplay, and writing. It burrowed into viewers’ souls, enduring as a fan favorite.
This gem of an interview contrasts sharply with industry norms of self-promotion. Stars rarely admit team dependency post-success. ‘Karan Arjun’ premiered January 13, 1995, dominating screens with its epic scale. ‘Tere Naam’ debuted August 15, 2003, blending obsession and tragedy masterfully. Salman’s candor inspires, underscoring cinema’s collaborative essence amid solo glory myths.
