The
Reason
Came
As
A
Shock
To
Us
As
per
a
Pinkvilla
report,
at
a
recent
event
when
Salman
was
asked
the
quintessential
marriage
question,
the
actor
quipped,
"Marriage
has
become
such
a
big
thing.
You
spend
lakhs
and
lakhs
and
crores
of
money
in
getting
somebody
married.
I
can't
afford.
That's
the
reason
I
am
a
single
man."
Being
Witty
He
further
added
that
his
father,
screenplay
writer
Salim
Khan,
got
married
in
just
Rs
180
and
hence
has
been
able
to
bring
his
5
kids
up.
Salman
Is
Curious
To
Know
About
This
Recently
in
one
of
TV
interviews
when
he
was
asked
about
his
marriage,
Salman
had
answered,
"I
am
very
much
delighted
to
see
so
many
people
care
about
my
marriage
and
are
worried
about
it.
However,
it
wonders
me
that,
what
will
be
the
benefit
of
people
from
my
marriage?
Nothing.
So
there's
no
as
such
answer.
Neither
it's
no
nor
it's
yes
and
not
even
may
be.
But
when
it
will
happen,
it
will
or
may
be
it
will
not
take
place."
His
Blunt
Reply
Earlier
when
quizzed
about
his
plans
of
settling
down,
Salman
said,
"Now,
say
if
someone
comes
and
asks
me
something
straight
up,
like
this
whole
marriage
shit.
They're
really
not
interested,
you
know
that.
They
just
want
to
chhapo
that
marriage
thingy.
That
pisses
me
off.
For
me,
I
think
marriage
is
a
waste
of
money!"
Wait,
What!
He
Doesn't
Believe
In
Love
"I
don't
believe
in
love
at
all.
I
don't
think
there's
any
reason
for
the
word
'love' to
exist.
The
word
is
'need'.
It
depends
on
whose
need
is
more.
Or
who
you
might
need
at
some
point.
But
she
may
not
need
you
at
all.
This
can
also
turn
the
other
way
round
when
you
don't
need
her
sometimes.
So,
basically,
the
need
has
got
to
be
equal
at
all
times.
Which
may
or
may
not
happen."
Salman
On
Speculations
About
His
Marriage
With
Rumoured
Flame
Iulia
Vantur
Rumours
flew
thick
when
Salman
attended
Preity
Zinta's
marriage
reception
with
his
rumoured
girlfriend
Iulia
Vantur.
Later
when
a
leading
daily
asked
the
superstar
about
the
speculations,
he
had
lashed
out,
"Yes,
we
did
go
to
that
party,
but
am
I
not
allowed
to
go
anywhere
with
anybody?
So,
if
I
am
seen
outside
with
any
woman,
will
I
be
married
off
to
her?
One
has
to
understand
one's
responsibility
towards
a
woman.
The
media
keeps
saying,
"Salman
will
get
married
on
this
date
or
that
date." But
when
it
(marriage)
doesn't
happen,
it's
only
the
girl
who
suffers.
Aise
bolke
aapne
uski
izzat
ki
dhajjiyan
hi
udaa
di
(you
have
stripped
her
of
all
her
respect).
They
(the
media)
have
dishonoured
a
woman
regardless
of
whether
she
is
an
Indian
or
a
foreigner.
In
such
cases,
the
media
gives
hope
to
the
woman
and
puts
pressure
on
me.
And
this
is
not
good;
I
also
look
like
an
insensitive
person,
who
is
not
interested
in
getting
married."
