Salman Khan may have walked the Red Sea International Film Festival red carpet like a global superstar, but once on stage, he dropped a revelation that instantly had the audience protesting. Known for
his larger-than-life image and superstardom across generations, Salman surprised fans by openly laughing at his own acting skills — triggering a moment that quickly became the highlight of the festival conversation. Instead of speaking about fame, legacy or hits, the actor chose to poke fun at himself, admitting he doesn’t see himself as a great performer and even believes people laugh when he cries on screen. The crowd disagreed loudly, turning the interaction into a heart-warming mix of humour, honesty and fan love. Salman Says He Isn’t a ‘Great Actor’ During the session, Salman openly joked about his skills, insisting he never tries to “act.” He said, “Acting has also left this generation. Toh mujhe nahi lagta ki main koi bahut hi kamaal ka actor hoon. You can catch me doing anything, but you can’t catch me acting. Woh hoti hi nahi mujhse. Jaisa feel hota hai, waise karta hoon. Bas yahi hai.” When the host asked the audience if they agreed, the entire hall loudly said “no,” prompting Salman to share another moment of self-deprecating humour. He added, “Kabhi-kabhi jab main rota hoon, mujhe lagta hai aap log mujh par hans dete ho.” SRK Praises Alia Bhatt at the Same Event — and So Does Salman Salman also spoke on the red carpet about attending the festival, saying he enjoys visiting Saudi Arabia and appreciates the cultural exchange the festival creates. “I love it here. I like Saudi. A lot of people here like the culture. It’s nice. I keep on visiting this place quite a bit nowadays. So it’s good.” Speaking about Alia Bhatt receiving the Golden Globe Horizon Award, he said, “Yes, Alia Bhatt, it’s amazing! I think only Saudi could’ve done this. It’s amazing. They’re going places really rapidly. It’s a good thing. I like it that they bring their best and our culture together.” He was also seen mingling with international stars like Idris Elba, Edgar Ramirez, and Olga Kurylenko.
