Salman talked about why he will never have his autobiography written and also went gaga about the veteran actors and their close bonding. When Salman Khan was asked to say a few words, the actor was excited but nervous and said, “Asha aunty, thank you very much. I don’t deserve being here. Pasine chhut rahe hai mere iss waqt (I am literally sweating right now), I don’t understand what to say. I think it is a very difficult thing for anyone to write their autobiography, mujhse toh life mein kabhi na ho (I would never be able to do it in my lifetime)!” He then pointed to Dharmendra and said laughing, “Dharam ji would understand!” This is the first time Salman has written the foreword for a book. The actor further said, “To be honest, I was not at all sure if I could do justice to her  achievements in a foreword.”
