There’s nothing better than changing to a ‘good boy’ image: Salman Khan

Salman Khan, for a few years now, has been trying hard to change his image for the better. While his initiative, Being Human, has definitely helped, one thinks that his film Bajrangi Bhaijaan will definitely further the cause.

And Salman is not complaining. “There’s nothing better than changing to a ‘good boy’ image. I want to do it slowly but things are moving fast. Changes have come to my life and I have to grow in that direction,” he says.

“I have to put the bad boy image in the background and bring the good boy image to the fore. After I am dead, there will be a conflict in both my images. While one father may ask his son not be like me, another might say, ‘Be good like him’… I will be known for both.”

He adds, “I may have hurt many people, like my parents. But I have learnt from experience and a lot of negative in me has become positive.”

In his younger days, however, being good or bad was not in the horizon. “Being from Bandra, I would enjoy XMas for almost a week. I remember I would wait for this 15-day holiday as we could party throughout. While on Id we would get only one day. At Christmas time, we were allowed to be out all night,” he smiles, before adding on a serious note, “We are a simple family and we celebrate all festivals.”
