Karan Johar popped the marriage question to Salman and asked the question again, ‘Are you still a virgin?’ Salman laughed at this and said that he had made that statement in a way of saying that he does not want to talk about his dating life or his relationships. “Because you keep on saying, ‘You are dating so-and-so’… and you never know that this is the person who is going to be in your life for the rest of your life. And then that person goes ahead and gets married to somebody else. I always had this from the time I was 15-16,” he said.

‘I cannot blame anyone else’

Salman went on to add that it was his father, Salim Khan, who had advised him to keep his bedroom talk within the bedroom and not bring it to the living room.

One cannot be complaining that I wanted this and the whole world went against me and that is the reason why I could not be with a partner. I cannot blame anyone else.”
