He was voted the seventh-best-looking man on this planet and the most efficient looking man in India by US's People magazine in 2004 -- but Salman Khan has maintained his distance from Hollywood, and says he has his reasons. The Bollywood star unleashed his funny side when asked in regards to the reason at
an event organised by Indo-American Chamber Of Commerce (IACC) Wednesday.
"All my friends who've gone to America, they do not even wish to get back for a holiday, wonder why. I'M an actor, those guys were the 'sensible' ones, educated - engineers, doctors, scientists. These guys went there and made numerous money, respect," he said.
"Me, I'M giving Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, these types of guys a possibility. Otherwise...poor guys," the 46-year-old said here in a humourous way.
Salman also targeted Hollywood films. "Amazing movies, they make anything look good. Like for instance the names I took, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise. We just go on emotions and heart. We overdo anything, I mean guys like us also look really bad," said Salman.
He wrapped up the response along with his arch-rival, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's famous dialogue from My Name Is Khan: "I mean my name is definitely Khan and that i actually am not a terrorist."
Besides Salman, actress Nargis Fakhri was also present on the event, where Tata Consultancy Services was formally honoured because the overall best Indian Company operating within the US on the 8th Indo American Corporate Excellence Awards.
