"I always thought Bollywood stays silent during Salman Khan controversies because they are scared of his stature. But this opinion changed when I met him at IIFA this year," says actress and fashionista Rupali Suri. "I realised that people do not fear him, they respect him."
Talking about her interview with Salman for her IIFA green carpet assignment, the Gladrags MegaModel winner recounts, "There was a lot of chirpy frenzy around, but as soon as Salman walked in and stood before me for the interview, all of a sudden, the atmosphere changed. Everyone was quiet, as if waiting for him to begin."
"After the interview Salman was still around and being cordial with people. There and then it struck me that it was not fear, but immense respect that drove them to silence for the few minutes I conducted the interview," she says.
"Now I understand why Salman did not go about town explaining his stance to the media or making a show of an apology, when they dragged him in the rape comment controversy. He is so above all such drama."
Rupali is also thrilled with her interactions with Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Shiamak Davar, Gulshan Grover, Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. "Hrithik turned out to be a super emotional guy who cares so much for his family, especially his kids."
Rupali will soon be making her big screen debut in director Arun Frank's film Dad... Hold My Hand.
