political career.

Mumbai, January 08: Nursing a back-ache, Salman Khan wearily finds comfort in nicotine as he sequentially deals with fans, journalists and a friend who wants him to promote an event. In an oddly reassuring fashion, though, we get to see the trademark removal of his T-shirt as his manager makes him try on a merchandise vest.

Despite the 70-plus films in a career that has spanned over 20 years, Khan, in our first meeting, comes across as astutely calculated and slightly haughty, with only hints of being jaded.
