Salman Khan never holds back his opinions, and his latest podcast appearance proves it once again. The Bollywood superstar made his debut on his nephew Arhaan Khan’s YouTube channel, Dumb Biryani, where he shared his blunt views on success, discipline, and why he thinks motivational talks are “nothing but bullsh*t.”
Salman Khan Says Experience Matters More Than Words
Arhaan co-hosts the podcast with his friends Dev Raiyani and Arush Verma. During the chat, Salman made it clear that experience matters more than words.
“If you actually want to learn, you can even learn from the tree or the wall. Of course, you need to listen to your guru, but that can even be Google or YouTube. All you need is to be disciplined,” he said.
He also dismissed the idea of needing motivation for basic things. “I don’t believe in this motivation bull**** talk. Brush your teeth, and get out. Nobody likes to go to the gym or learn something. It is painful, and it’s about willingly making a fool out of yourself. But you need to put yourself at that end, and get as good as possible,” he added.
Actor On Staying Enthusiastic Even In Difficult Times & More
The Tiger 3 star also spoke about staying enthusiastic even when things get tough. He reflected on his childhood, saying, “When we used to play a sport, and get tired, and start panting, we still had a wide smile on our faces. We wanted to get back and do the same thing all over again. Nowadays, we lose that enthusiasm and get complacent. Never let go of that enthusiasm.”
Salman also warned against letting laziness take over. “If you let go of this enthusiasm, you are allowing yourself to become a much older version of yourself. That should never happen. You don’t say, ‘I am tired…’ Get up, and do something. Don’t say ‘I can’t sleep…’ Just do something long enough for your body to get tired and fall asleep.”
The actor then revealed his unusual sleep routine. “I generally sleep for a couple of hours, and once a month, I get 7-8 hours a day. Sometimes, I sleep when I get a few minutes break between shoots. I can only sleep when I don’t have anything else to do. So, I slept nicely when I was in jail. I sleep when there is turbulence in an aircraft because there is nothing I can do in such a situation.”
Wrapping up, Salman shared his thoughts on success. “You need to consistently put all your efforts into work, family, and friends. You just need to be there for them. Work really hard, and when you finally make it, do share the credit with all the people who helped you make it.” He also pointed out the biggest mistake successful people make—thinking they did it all alone. “You can take absolute responsibility for your failures, but success is never just yours. If you allow it to get to your head, you will get messed up, for sure.”
