In the video from 1998 that has been doing the rounds on social media, we see him say, " I think people who don't have confidence in themselves, they want awards. I would not go up and pick up filmfare awards, I would not go up there and up any stupid awards..."

Magazines who run on our interviews want to give us awards: Salman Khan

Salman added that magazines and publications that run on the 'star power' or strength of the actors' interviews they take, want to give them awards by calling them to perform.

"Magazines that are running on our strength, understand, ki aapke interview pe, starts ke interviews pe ye magazine  chal rahi hai. Vahi apko bulate hai aur apko bilte hai ki bhai we will give you an award, you come and perform this that and ye voh. And, they sell it to Pan Parag or Manikchand. And we are like idiots going on their shows, suit vuit pehen ke bethe hai aur award le rahe hai, I'm not interested in this”( These magazines which run on our strength, on the strength of our interviews, call us to say, ‘you come perform at our award show’ and we will give you an award. They then sell it to Pan Parang or Manikchand, and we are like idiots sitting on the show, wearing suits and taking awards like idiots…)

“It’s like tomorrow, My driver and my servant and my boy, my make up man say, baba, aaj hum tumko award dete hain. Stupid!"( We’ll give you an award today).
