Salman says 'I'm not...a good actor'; see how fans reacted
What's the story
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan recently attended the Red Sea Film Festival 2025 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. During a candid interaction at the event, he downplayed his acting skills and even claimed that audiences often laugh when he cries on-screen. However, fans were quick to dismiss his remarks, leaving the superstar smiling.
Acting skills
'You can catch me doing anything, but you can't catch...'
Khan said, "Acting has also left this generation. Toh mujhe nahi lagta ki main koi bahut hi kamaal ka actor hoon (So I don't think I'm a particularly great actor)." "You can catch me doing anything, but you can't catch me acting. Woh hoti hi nahi mujhse (I can't do it)." "Jaisa feel hota hai, waise karta hoon. Bas yahi hai (I simply do what I feel in the moment. That's all)."
Fan response
Fans defended Khan's acting skills
When the host asked if Khan's assessment was accurate, the audience unanimously disagreed. The superstar further quipped, "Sometimes when I cry, I feel like you guys laugh at me." Fans immediately countered him, saying, "No, we cry with you." Netizens in the comments section of the video also disagreed with the actor. One user said, "I swear! When he cries, you just cry with him." Another wrote, "You are the only actor who can make us hard cry with you."
Career update
Khan's upcoming film is 'Battle of Galwan'
Khan's last release, Sikandar, underperformed at the box office. He will next be seen in Apoorva Lakhia's Battle of Galwan, where he'll take on the role of an Army officer.
