Memorable Quotes - Salman Khan
He said: “In life go straight and turn right...”
We say: This would seem like a good motto for life, but you should add a footnote saying that you shouldn't do the same while driving a car, especially when there are people are sleeping on the footpath.
He said: “The court can hang me. I am tired of such lengthy proceedings.”
We say: (Why is he still yakking around? Shoudnt he be keeping time?) They didn't hang him after such an invitation? Alas, the opportunity that was missed..
He said: “The media wanted me to talk about my close friends and family. Why should I?”
We say: Shouldn't that second sentence read "How could I when I have none?", especially for the 'close friends' part?
He said: “For me acting comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don't act at all.”
We say: Finally, the confession. We had it figured out long ago.
He said: “The only person I have hurt is myself.”
We say: True true...Everyone knows that a blackbuck is not a 'person'. Nor are Miss Worlds or homeless people.

Bollywood's Top 15 unforgettable dresses
Bollywood's Top 15 unforgettable dresses
1 Madubala, Mughal-E-Azam
K Asif's glorious epic depicting a doomed romance between a Prince and a courtesan saw Madhubala bow out of the picture in grand style sporting a resplendent and embellished costume now famously addressed as the Anarkali style.
A sweeping mix of old world glamour and unabashed gorgeousness, the Anarkali has inspired everyone from Madhuri Dixit to Mallika Sherawat.
Image: Madubala in Mughal-E-Azam
2 Mumtaz, Brahmachari
Even though it was Rajashree and not Mumtaz who played the leading lady in the musical entertainer Brahmachari, the button-cute star livened things up by turning on her impish charm in a bright orange sari, draped in an unconventional yet uber cool manner.
Image: Mumtaz in Brahmachari
3 Sharmila Tagore, An Evening in Paris
Long before there were enough bikini adorning babes to compile a full-fledged slide show, the rather elfin Ms Tagore stormed into Bollywood flaunting her sexy sophistication in nothing more than a ultra-glam printed blue swimsuit to portray the modern Indian woman in An Evening in Paris.
Tres chic!
Image: Sharmila Tagore in An Evening in Paris
4 Helen, Teesri Manzil
Being the ultimate show girl of Hindi films, Helen's costumes were quite the highlight.
In Vijay Anand's sleek whodunit, however, Helen upped her ante to wow-inducing levels showcasing a series of elaborate costumes for the remarkable on all counts (music, choreography, sets) -- O haseena zulfonwali.
Her appearance in this Spanish flamenco costume is the one that remains etched in our minds though.
Image: Helen in Teesri Manzil
5 Sadhana, Waqt
Besides playing a delectable ghost, Sadhana also made fringe and tight-fitting churidar kurtas a rage.
Not only did her fashionable offerings in Yash Chopra's lost and found multi-starrer found a massive following of besotted copycats, including some colleagues but also set the bar of what to expect from the future Yashraj heroine.

6 Zeenat Aman, Hare Rama Hare Krishna
Zeenat Aman pays the ultimate 'Flower child' ode with her fabulously hippie look -- floral prints, bell sleeves, bell bottoms, over-sized glasses, rudraksha beads in Dev Anand's equally compelling brother-sister melodrama, Hare Rama Hare Krishna.
On anybody else this would look like sham but the innately classy Lazy Zee totally works it.
Image: A scene from Hare Rama Hare Krishna
7 Dimple Kapadia, Bobby
Bobby celebrates the mad rush of adolescence through the child-woman quality of its leading lady, Dimple Kapadia.
And so trust the actress with the best mane in the business to lend a carefree sensuality while romping about in a knotted polka-dotted shirt and hot black mini musing over the matters of the heart.
Mujhse dosti karoge, she asks!
Image: Dimple Kapadia in Bobby
8 Rekha, Umrao Jaan
Dripping in jadau and polkis from practically every ornament-friendly corner of her anatomy, Rekha is a vision of opulence, poetry and heartbreaking beautiful.
While tragedy might mark the fate of her lovelorn character as a courtesan in Muzzafar Ali's refined classic, Rekha sashaying in this pearl-hued brocade is stuff pleasant memories are made of.
Image: Rekha in Umrao Jaan
9 Sridevi, Mr India
To think it's only a plain chiffon blue sari. Drape it around Sridevi and you have molten lava hotness to deal with.
Her iconic appearance in the same in a bid to lure a certain Mr India had the invisible super hero and the entire male population of India weak in the knees.
Clearly, this one refuses to fade into black. Or blue.
Image: A scene from Mr India
10 Madhuri Dixit, Hum Aapke Hain Koun!
Be it Ek do teen (Tezaab) Dhak dhak (Beta), Choli ke peeche (Khal Nayak) or Humko aaj kal (Sailaab), Madhuri Dixit's flamboyant picks always make an impression.
Nothing beats the popularity of her Didi tera devar outfit though.
La Dixit wore a crystal-encrusted purple satin sari to sizzling effect in Sooraj Barjatya's biggest blockbuster. Like the movie itself, the sari, too, became a huge hit in wedding circles.
Image: Madhuri Dixit in Hum Aapke Hain Koun!
11 Kajol, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
Like Madhuri's purple number, the Dulhania, too, found quite a few takers for her shiny green ensemble in Bollywood's longest-running romance.
Now ordinarily, the shade of Shrek's complexion wouldn't look becoming on most but on Kajol it's almost too fetching to be true. Le jayenge, indeed!
Image: A scene from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
12 Urmila Matondkar, Rangeela
Rangeela is filled with fashion fantastic moments of Urmila Matondkar's breathtaking transformation.
Besides kick-starting a crazy trend courtesy stylist Manish Malhotra's chic designs of short, frilly dresses it also made Bollywood more 'look' savvy.
Among a bunch of Urmila's many-a-striking avatars in the rollicking caper, the lissome beauty particularly stood out in her east-meets-west fusion of an Amrapali-inspired bustier paired with a tiny flowing skirt.
Image: Urmila Matondkar in Rangeela
13 Sushmita Sen, Main Hoon Na
The best thing about Bollywood are its fans. They're almost obsessive in their fascination and range from all walks of life.
And so when Sushmita Sen's black and red polka dotted sari caught a majority's collective fancy, you could see its customers ranging from the grumpy aunty-next-door to the permanently cheery Kanta Bai.
Image: Sushmita Sen in Main Hoon Na
14 Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kajra re
Make way for the new-age Umrao!
Putting her guarded glamour ways aside, Ash reveals her seductive side in a saucy, deep neck choli and glitzy lehenga as part of the extra special appearance in Bunty Aur Babli's spectacular item ditty, Kajra re.
As much as one loves her looks in the numerous costume dramas, this is Ash at her hottest best.
Too bad Preity Zinta's attempt at the same wasn't 'Happening' enough.
Image: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Kajra re
Extra long tee shirts teamed with Patiala salwars? Sounds ugh, right? Wrong.
Judging by the ensemble's popularity among young girls, Kareena Kapoor sure knows how to make a trendy statement with this unlikely combination as the chatty but endearing Geet of Jab We Met.
