Salman Khan, who turned 53 on Thursday, said love and respect of the audience is more precious to him than his stardom. The Bharat star was speaking to the media ahead of his birthday celebrations on Wednesday.
"I am happy that people love me so much. Stardom matters in a way but what makes me more happy is the love and respect of people and that they trust me a lot. This all means a lot to me," Salman told reporters on Wednesday.
Asked about his New Year resolution, he said: "Four days ago, my mother told me that now this four-pack body will not be enough and she asked me âwhat is your resolution for next year' so, I told her ânothing' then, she told me âyou have to achieve six-pack body' so now that means, I have to be disciplined and I am doing that.
"I am going to gym in the morning and evening. I run for one hour and control my food eating habits. She (mother) has told me achieve six pack body which will be simple for me according to her and it is easy for me so, I am going to gift my six pack body to my mother on the new year."
