During this, Salman was also asked questions about his career. He told –
I was greatly influenced by my father’s work. Because of this I always wanted to become a director and writer. In the beginning, I was very serious about it and I also wrote many scripts, whenever I got stuck, I used to call my father and ask for help. I went to many filmmakers and applied for the work of director, producer, and writer. They used to tease me by saying hey, don’t get into all this, you should become an actor because you are good-looking. During the days of struggle, when I did not achieve anything, then I decided that perhaps those people were right and in such a situation I became an actor.
