Arbaaz Khan: Ask anyone who is more successful, 100 out of 100 will say Salman, mujhe kya sharam bolne mein?

Actor Arbaaz Khan isn’t affected by comparisons with brother Salman Khan’s success, says ‘ultimately mera bhai hi hai’.

Arbaaz Khan wears many hats. He’s tried his hand at directing, producing, apart from of course being an actor. And recently he turned a chat show host, with legends such as Helen and his father Salim Khan invited on it.

Actor Arbaaz Khan is the brother of Salman Khan.

What made headline though was Arbaaz openly asking his father if it bothered him how he and Sohail aren’t as successful as their brother Salman. We ask him about the reason he is so candid about it. Arbaaz says, “Kya hota hai na, aap bhale hi apne baare mein jo socho, duniya toh kuch na kuch bolti hi hai. You confront it. It’s a reality that professionally, many people will be more successful than you, but they are that professionally. Your success in some area could be more than theirs. Only your career isn’t important in life, it doesn’t define you. If someone is ahead of you, there is no shame in acknowledging it.”

The 55-year-old, who has a film on floors as a producer with actor Raveena Tandon in the cast, adds that he is also aware what people think. “Today, you can ask anyone who is more successful between Salman and Arbaaz, 100 out of 100 will say it’s Salman. Toh mujhe kya sharam bolne mein? There are things in my life which don’t exist in his! Tomorrow the situation could be different, maybe I am so successful that it probably supercedes his. You have to be honest where you stand and not be deluded. People respect if you confront it. They aren’t fools. This is what people like,” says Khan.
