This
is
addressed
to
Salman
Khan,
one
person
I
am
genuinely
fond
of.
Read
it
as
an
'Open
Letter'
addressed
to
Mr.
Khan.
Almost
two
months
ago,
in
a
heart-to-heart
conversation
with
you
in
Malaysia,
I
categorically
told
you
that
you
posses
all
the
qualities
to
give
a
run
for
the
money
to
your
contemporaries,
provided
you
get
a
little
more
serious
about
your
career.
You
smiled
at
my
observation.
I
even
asked
you
the
reason
for
not
promoting
Jaan-E-Mann
as
aggressively
as
SRK
promoted
Don
[released
on
the
same
date].
Your
answer
didn't
satisfy
me!
The
next
day,
I
was
told
that
my
conversation
rang
a
bell.
You
were
disturbed
with
my
point-blank
questions
since
it
mirrored
the
truth.
You
even
told
a
common
friend
that
you
respected
my
concern
for
you.
Thanks!
In
an
industry
that's
governed
by
box-office
more
than
anything
else,
you've
had
a
spate
of
turkeys
one
after
the
other,
post
No
Entry:
Kyon
Ki...,
Saawan
-
The
Love
Season,
Shaadi
Karke
Phas
Gaya
Yaar,
Jaan-E-Mann
and
Baabul.
Note
one
more
thing.
All
the
above-mentioned
films
didn't
even
fetch
an
opening
on
the
day
of
their
release.
As
for
Salaam-E-Ishq,
I
wish
to
pose
a
simple
question:
What
exactly
did
you
see
in
this
role?
Also,
I
am
confused.
Were
you
addressing
yourself
as
Rahul
or
Raaoool?
Were
you
trying
to
be
funny?
If
that
was
your
idea,
let
me
tell
you,
it
hardly
evoked
mirth.
I
am
often
told
that
you
listen
to
your
heart
and
accept
films
without
weighing
the
pros
and
cons
of
the
project
offered
to
you.
But
look
at
your
contemporaries
like
SRK
and
Aamir
Khan
or
even
juniors
like
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Abhishek
Bachchan.
Not
only
have
they
tasted
commercial
success
consistently,
they
also
have
solid
films
to
their
credit.
That's
because
they
think
from
the
mind.
And
they
think
of
themselves
first
and
their
loyal
fans
before
they
sign
on
the
dotted
line.
Don't
you
think
you
owe
to
your
loyal
fans,
who've
been
terribly
disappointed
by
some
of
your
films?
Think
about
it.
You
need
to
do
some
introspection.
You
need
to
reinvent
yourself.
Everyone
does
it.
Big
B
did
it
when
he
realized
that
Mrityudaata
and
Lal
Baadshah
sank
faster
than
Titanic.
