Bollywood superstar Salman Khan says he fears losing the stardom that he has achieved in his over 25 years’ career. But what pacifies him is the thought that life is more than being a screen hero.
To a question by IANS on whether he fears losing his stardom, Salman said during a select media interaction: “Everyone is scared of losing stardom. I would be lying if I say no. It’s not just the stardom... It’s that love, it’s that respect.
“Suddenly, it all gets over... That is one quality you are working so hard for and suddenly something happens and you are not the liked person any more... That bothers everyone.”
However, Salman feels a person should be strong enough to face it.
“You need to be that man who could take that (fading stardom). I have seen my father (writer Salim Khan) go through it... He has gone through it twice in his life. I myself have gone through that.
“(But) I think life is more just than being a hero and star in movies. I think it’s a lot more than that.”
Salman, who has been on a career high post films like “Dabangg” and “Bajrangi Bhaijan”, realises that now is the time when he has to work harder.
“One has to work hard at this point of time only because all our seniors left at this time only. By this age, almost everyone left (the industry). I saw a close-up of mine in one film, and I was like, ‘What is this? When I am only not liking it how others are going to like it’.”
That’s when he started training towards his fit self.
“We have to put ourselves through pain and torture so that somebody appreciates it,” added the actor, who sports a chiselled physique for the role of a wrestler in his next movie “Sultan”.

An Eid release, “Sultan”, hitting the screens on 8 July, is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and also features Anushka Sharma.

They had got married in 2004 and went splitsville after two years.
In an interview with entertainment portal VLAD TV, the 38-year-old star, who has two children Jayden James and Sean Preston with Spears, also said that their relationship was completely "different than he imagined it would be", reports mirror.co.uk.
"That was a whole different lifestyle than I ever imagined. I mean, just getting around from place to place and having 20 people follow you all day long -- your whole life kind of being told through somebody else's eyes."
"Everybody wants to put their own spin on it. We, like, were caught right in the midst of that whole thing. It was so crazy. I look back at it and it's like, at times it was so overwhelming," he said.

An American singer who appeared on the Mexican version of The Voice in 2011 was shot and critically wounded in an ambush shortly after celebrating his birthday with friends.

Friends say 45-year-old Alejandro ‘Jano’ Fuentes was shot three times in the head late Thursday outside his Tras Bambalinas School on Chicago’s southwest side.

Fuentes was celebrating his birthday there when he got into his car with friends and an armed man suddenly ordered Fuentes out of that vehicle and shot him.

Miguel Sanchez tells WLS-TV that his critically wounded friend is in a “big battle for his life.”

Mount Sinai Hospital spokeswoman Dianne Hunter said Saturday Fuentes’ family has asked that no information on his condition be released.

The attack happened less than a week after the killing of Christina Grimmie, who appeared on the US version of the show. Authorities say a man shot her while she was signing autographs after a performance in Orlando, Florida. The man then killed himself.
