Can't afford luxury of being depressed: Salman Khan
What's the story
He may be one of the biggest stars in India, but Salman Khan says it was not an easy journey for him, courtesy his professional highs, lows and legal woes.
He believes there have been breaking points in his life, but the nature of his job does not allow him to share his vulnerable side with the world.
Here's more on what he said.
Side-effects
Being a star has a lot of repercussions
"My profession is such that I have to look good, dress up, do stylized action sequences and romance. Articles come on my affairs, me working with beautiful heroines and then suddenly a court date comes up..." he said.
He said being a star has a lot repercussions as he does not have the "luxury of being depressed or sad".

"People think I don't give a damn about things"
"So, people think I don't give a damn about things. That is the most difficult part about our journey as actors. No matter what you are going through at your home or in your personal life, you can't have sub-titles there," Salman said.
Work life
"After 16, I have never taken a break from work"
"I see a lot of people going on vacations, but I cannot afford that luxury of taking a vacation. I see a lot of people getting depressed and emotional, but I can't afford that luxury of being depressed or sad or emotional because no matter what I am going through, it works against me," he said.
Salman revealed his aim as a new actor was to give an equally bigger hit as Aamir Khan's "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak".
