Salman never wanted to be an actor
Salman Khan never wanted to be an actor but a director. When he used to go to people with scripts, people used to ask him, "Why you want to be a director, you should be an actor".
He was not getting any work as a director as he was a young man then and hence, considered to be not very serious about his work.
Salman said, "The then existing directors who were around 50-60 years old, looked very mature. And no one would trust me with that much of money at stake" said Salman. But since he had to work, he started modeling and joined acting classes, riding classes and everything. Finally, he signed a film.
