What did you think about M F Hussain's painting, depicting Salman with a begging bowl running after Ash and Abhi who are riding off on a horse?
Neither have I seen the painting, nor am I interested to. If such a painting exists, it has been done in bad taste. M F Hussain is too big a person; he should not indulge in such things (pauses).
I could have understood if it was some painter who wants to get noticed. Even actors, who make brash statements early in their careers, turn over a new leaf and choose their words after they are established. Shah Rukh Khan had done that in the past when he began.
He made many statements and we said that this guy wants to get noticed. But today, we don't see him saying anything remotely unparliamentary.
Too much has been said about Aishwarya Rai's wedding in connection to Salman.
Salman has moved on. Nobody is a Devdas in real life. Nobody is a Guru Dutt these days. And everybody has a past. Why keep digging it out every now and then?
