Salman Khan Opens Up On Why He Cannot Behave Like Dabangg 3 Character Chulbul Pandey At Home; ‘My Dad Would Hit Me, My Mom Would Slap Me’

Bollywood star Salman Khan has delivered some stellar performances in the past, Dabangg’s Chulbul Pandey being among the very popular ones. The actor is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai in full swing. He will soon appear in the film and will be seen playing the titular character of Radhe in movie. In an interview now, Salman opened up about playing relatable characters. However, the actor feels he cannot replicate these roles at home, in real life in front of his parents or he would land up getting beaten up.

Speaking with Bollywood Hungama, Salman Khan said that in his growing up years, he would walk out of the theatre wanting to be like the hero he watched in the film. He said, “I still feel that when I see a film, I want to be like that person. I get very impressed by the goods and deeds that happen in the movies by the main leads.” The actor added, "I get very impressed by that so I try to take that back home. Even the films that I do, apart from that action. For example, Dabangg is a character. I can’t take that character back home. Radhe is a character, I can’t take back that character. I can’t walk around in front of my parents like Chulbul Pandey. My dad would hit me, my mom would slap me and my brothers and sisters would be embarrassed of me. So, I am at home as a son and as a brother.”

The Bharat actor went on to share that he doesn’t take home the romance either. He said, “I don’t take the flirting and the lovestory back home with the heroines, nor do I take all the action, beating up 50-60 people, chopper sequences.” Khan added, “I don't have that in me. That’s a self obsessed or egoistic person.” He continued, “I know what my capacity is, I know how much I can do and I know how much the stunt double can do. I don’t take that back home but I take a bit of the goodness back.”

Salman Khan first played the role of Chulbul Pandey in 2010, in the movie Dabangg. He reprised the role for two more movies of the franchise later.  Meanwhile, Salman’s Radhe will also star Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff. The film releases on May 13, on the occasion of Eid. Also Read: Radhe: Salman Khan Extends An Apology To Theatre Owners; Says Box Office Collection Of His Film Would Be Zero
