If
someone
has
not
seen
Kashmir,
he
or
she
has
seen
nothing
at
all,
Bollywood
superstar
Salman
Khan
said.
Speaking
to
media
persons
in
this
north
Kashmir
tourist
resort
after
completing
his
shooting
schedule
for
Bajrangi
Bhaijaan,
Salman
said
Switzerland
has
nothing
better
to
offer
by
way
of
outdoor
locales
in
comparison
to
Kashmir.
"If
you
haven't
seen
Kashmir,
you
have
seen
nothing."
"This
is
my
second
trip
to
Kashmir
this
year.
I
have
spent
40
days
here.
We
will
now
be
leaving
the
Valley
after
the
successful
shoot
of
our
movie.
We
shot
in
Pahalgam
and
Sonamarg."
The
Bollywood
star
said
the
people
of
Kashmir
were
"extremely
gentle,
beautiful,
simple
and
well-mannered".
"I
request
others
to
come
here.
I
had
intended
to
come
and
shoot
for
'Dabangg',
but
that
did
not
happen," Salman
said.
The
star
said
he
wanted
cinema
theatres
to
re-open
in
the
Valley.
"Everyone
watches
movies
here.
Cinema
theatres
should
be
re-opened
here.
We
would
love
to
premiere
a
film
here
if
theatres
are
re-opened,"
he
said.
Salman
thanked
everybody
who
had
wished
him
well
during
the
trial
in
the
hit
and
run
case,
in
which
he
has
got
relief
from
the
high
court
that
suspended
the
trial
court's
sentence.
Salman
dodged
a
question
on
the
Kashmir
issue,
saying
"Ask
that
to
your
chief
minister
and
the
prime
minister.
I
have
come
here
to
see
tourism
flourish
in
Kashmir."
Asked
if
he
was
prepared
to
act
as
brand
ambassador
for
Kashmir,
he
said,
"I
would
rather
act
as
brand
ambassador
for
the
entire
country."
Salman
also
disclosed
that
his
family
has
a
Kashmir
connection.
"My
maternal
grandfather
Baldev
Singh
Charak
was
from
Jammu,"
he
said.
He
said
that
in
real
life,
he
wants
to
acquire
a
few
of
the
good
points
his
reel
characters
depict.
"Every
film
I
do,
I
try
to
follow
those
characters
in
my
personal
life,"
he
said.
Salman
said
that
like
most
of
his
movies,
Bajrangi
Bhaijaan
was
also
going
to
seen
an
Eid
release.
Director
Kabir
Khan,
who
sat
alongside
Salman
Khan
during
the
media
interaction,
said
a
teaser
of
Bajrangi
Bhaijaan
would
soon
be
unveiled.
"It
is
a
larger
than
life
portrayal
of
the
political
backdrop
of
the
subcontinent.
"There
is
no
negative
portrayal
of
Kashmir
in
the
film.
It
deals
with
the
negative
politics
all
of
us
are
victims
of,"
Kabir
said.
