New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan needs no introduction. He is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of the country, who has made a mark with his performances in an illustrious acting career ranging over three decades. The actor's journey from stepping into the entertainment realm and getting the first film is quite interesting.
How Salman Khan landed his first film
Recently, Salman Khan went down the memory lane and shared an interesting detail from his modelling days during an interview for Hello Magazine. He said,“I started modelling at the age of 15. I was also writing and working as an assistant under two directors while finishing my education.”
Continuing the same he spoke about the transition he took from dreaming of a becoming director to actor and said, “At 16, I took a script to various people but got told that I was too young to become a director and should act instead. This kept happening until I was 18. Back in the day, even though budgets weren’t as high, directing a film was a huge responsibility and would cost a lot of money. The trust factor in my ability to become a director just wasn’t there. So I thought about becoming an actor because at least that way I’d meet the same people. That decision got mixed reactions — some said I was too young or too old for specific roles. But I was determined to make it work, and that’s when I got Biwi Ho Toh Aisi.”
