Re: Salman Khan's Dabangg smashes 3 Idiots' Day 1 box office record

SRK is never down to earth !! he got humble pride.... just does showoff infront of Media but in reality he is something else !! Where as Aamir he does lot of service to community !! he really knows the meaning innovations when it comes to film making !! sallu bhai is always the best does everything and never tells anyone wht he has done really to somebody !! if u want example have you heard of Jackie Sharoff !! he was in serious debts.... SRK never came forward to help his friend but where as Sallu bhai came forward not only helped him during his financial crisis !
