Check out ALL The Pictures From Maheshwar.

The Dabangg star, along with being an actor, has a successfully running production house. However, the actor does not consider himself to be exclusively talented. In an interview with DNA, Salman said, “My thing is that I’m surviving on mediocre talent and luck. Actually, I don’t know what I’m surviving on, but I’m surviving. Mere ups and downs toh hote rahenge. By the grace of God, hamari fan following itni tagdi hai. There’s also Akki (Akshay Kumar), Hrithik (Roshan) and Ajay (Devgn).” “Then, there are the new boys — Tiger (Shroff), Ranveer (Singh) and Varun (Dhawan). Everyone is so good that all of us will also have to, you know, be on our toes,” the actor further added.

When Salman was asked if he considered himself the biggest of the three Khans, he replied, and as quoted by DNA, “Not really. By the grace of God, the films that I’m choosing have done well. But it is not as if Aamir or Shah Rukh are choosing bad or worse films. There are times when the movies I’ve chosen, to the best of my knowledge, haven’t worked. And then one film works and you’re back. SRK is a legend, as is Aamir. A bad movie here or there may happen, but they will always come back. Actually, tension toh mera hai. Aamir and SRK know their craft. I’ve heard people saying they’re not so sure about me (laughs)” After the 'Shivling' Controversy, Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 Lands in Fresh Trouble for Damaging an Antique Figurine During Shoot.
