Audience’s love and respect matter more than stardom: Salman Khan

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Salman Khan, who turned 53 on Thursday, said love and respect of the audience is more precious to him than his stardom. The “Tiger Zinda Hai” star was speaking to the media ahead of his birthday celebrations on Wednesday.

“I am happy that people love me so much. Stardom matters in a way but what makes me more happy is the love and respect of people and that they trust me a lot. This all means a lot to me,” Salman told.
