Mumbai: By his own confession, Salman Khan loves kids. It’s clear from the fact that he is very close to his nieces and nephews, and loves spending time with them.
The Bollywood superstar has now revealed that more than marriage, he actually had plans for having a child.
Sharing his personal thoughts on Rajat Sharma’s ‘Aap ki Adalat’ recently, Salman lamented that Indian laws won’t permit him to become a father.
“Abhi kya bolu woh toh plan tha. Plan tha. Bahu ka nahi tha, baccha ke tha. Lekin ab woh law ke hisaab se woh toh Hindustan mein ho nahi sakta. Toh ab dekhenge kya kare (What to say, that was the plan. It wasn’t for a wife, but a child. But according to Indian laws, it’s not possible. Now I’ve to see what to do),” Salman said.
Pointed out that celebrities like Karan Johar and Tusshar Kapoor are single parents, and have been raising their children by themselves, Salman said laws have changed which have created an obstacle to his plans.
“Wahi main koshish kar raha tha lekin woh law shayad change hogaya hai. Toh ab dekhenge. Bachchon ka bada shaukh hai mujhe. I love kids. Lekin kids jab aate hai toh maa bhi aati hai. Maa unke liye bohut acchi hai, lekin humare ghar mein maa hi maa padi hai sir. Humare paas pura zila hai, pura gaon hai. Woh unka accha khayal rakh lengi. Lekin unki maa, jo real maa hongi, woh meri patni hogi (That’s what I was trying to do. But that law may have changed, so let’s see. I am very fond of children. But when kids come, their mother also comes. A mother is good for them but we have a lot of mothers at home. We have the whole district, the whole village. They will take care of them. But my kid’s real mother will also be my wife),” Salman said.
Salman has been romantically linked with a number of heroines like Sangeeta Bijlani, Somy Ali, Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif. But, at 57, Salman still remains single.
