Mumbai: Salman Khan might evade queries about tying the knot with rumoured girlfriend Iulia Vantour but the superstar says he is "dying" to get married.

 

The 50-year-old star says contrary to popular perception, he has always wanted to settle down but had to wait for "the other party" to agree.

 

The "Dabangg" star was on the singing reality show "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" to promote his upcoming film "Sultan" when a contestant, Jugpreet Bajwa, asked for his advice to get a life partner.

 

"You have targeted the wrong person, Jugpreet. I have always been unlucky in this matter, but the public impression about me in this regard is all wrong," Salman said, as per a statement issued by the TV show.

 

"I am actually dying to get married and had always been waiting for the other party to agree. Men have no say... It's the women who decide it all," the actor quipped.

 

Singer Mika Singh, who is a mentor on the show, said, "I am Salman Bhai's biggest fan and will follow his footsteps. Whenever Bhai will marry, I will also get married the same year."

 

Apart from Mika, the show features music director Pritam and composer duo Sajid-Wajid as mentors. The episode featuring Salman will air on June 26.
