To mai calculation kar raha hu Rs 100 crore pade hai – saade saath isko dunga, ek-do crore ki ad banegi, for chalani bhi to hai TV pe."
(I had a small company at the time. I needed to generate trust overnight. So, I thought of taking Salman Khan as the brand ambassador. Now, when I approached Salman's team, they said it would cost Rs 7.5 crores. I started calculating – I have got Rs 100 crores, Rs 7.5 crores will go to him, then another Rs 1-2 crores for making the ad, and I will still need to spend on running it on TV.)"
