Salman Khan: The Good, The Bad and The Only
20th July 2005 20.50 IST

Love him or hate him. But you can’t ignore Bollywood’s handsome enfant terrible Salman Khan .

No doubt Salman has a history of controversies (from the black buck killing and his road rage to his alleged underworld links), but then there are also many good sides to the dashing Khan that cannot be overlooked.

Often described as “friend of friends” by his peers and colleagues, Salman Khan is presently in the thick of the controversy surrounding the wiretapped telephonic conversation that purportedly has him threatening Aishwarya Rai with his underworld links.

Even though the investigating team still has to ascertain the veracity of the tapes (the police have taken voice samples of Salman and Aishwarya, and they have been sent to a forensic lab at Chandigarh), there are certain political groups who have beforehand labeled the star as a ‘bad guy’, ‘a traitor’ and have attempted to stop the screening of his latest movie Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya .

But if you heed to what some Bollywood celebrities have to say about Salman, you might see the parallel between ‘the good’ and ‘the bad’.

Preity Zinta , who has worked with Salman in many films, calls him “a gem of a person”. Sushmita Sen , his co-star in MPKK, believes Salman is “an honest guy.”

“What he (Salman) is inside, he is outside too,” Sushmita told a news channel recently.

And even if we avoid considering these opinions, there have been instances of Salman doing charity work, his support for cancer prevention and his bit for curbing tobacco consumption – things that paint a picture of Salman as a responsible citizen.

So who is Salman – the good guy or the bad one?

As a veteran actor once said: “No one is completely good or entirely bad. Life, contrary to films, has no such fine distinctions.”

Whatever the result of the ongoing investigation, the truth is that we can’t label someone good or bad that simply. Every individual has many shades and let us not forget that it is these very shades that makes Salman as the one and the only – loved by many and abhorred by some.
