From giving out blockbuster films to promoting humanitarian causes through his charity, Being Human Foundation, Bhaijaan has won hearts all across the world, and is now one of the rulers of B-town. However, did you know that Salman is not a big fan of the term ‘Bollywood’?
Being the eldest son of screenwriter Salim Khan, Salman entered the Bollywood industry in a supporting role in the 1988 release, Biwi Ho To Aisi. Khan got his big break in B-town through his debut film Maine Pyar Kiya, which was a huge success at the box office. Since then, Salman has achieved greater stardom through his roles in movies like Andaz Apna Apna, Hum Sath Sath Hain, Karan Arjun, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Biwi No. 1, Ready, Ek Tha Tiger, Sultan, and many more.
However, Salman Khan had once claimed he hated the industry he works in. Back in 2011, the actor had taken to his Twitter account and tweeted that found the term Bollywood ‘disgusting’ and that he didn’t like it.
