Bollywood actor Salman Khan who plays an aam aadmi in his recent film Jai Ho said that Narendra Modi should not apologise for Gujarat riots as he has been given a clean chit by the judiciary.

Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Tata all praised Modi, no problem. Why hangama on my praise? Cos I am Muslim? @BeingSalmanKhan to @aajtak Rifat Jawaid (@RifatJawaid) January 19, 2014

Speaking exclusively to Rahul Kanwal, Editor-at-Large, Aaj Tak and Headlines Today, Salman maintained that he is a people's person and he is not in a position yet to endorse anyone for the PM post.



Here is a look at some of the points from the interview:



- Don't want to take any name regarding the best candidate for the PM post as I do not want my judgment to influence millions of fans across India.

- If I take a name my fans will support the person, then it will be unfair to the rest of the people.



- It was great fun to fly kites with BJP PM candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.



- I am a people's person and I saw that people are happy with Modi in Gujarat.



- I had gone to Gujarat to promote my film Jai Ho on Makar Sankranti, not to endorse Narendra Modi.



- Modi is very cultured, I had an amazing interaction with him. I am impressed by the development in Gujarat and the way women in my team were treated.



- Modi treated my sister in a very respectful manner.



- I was amazed to see his voters and fans. They are very happy with him and they said that he is a good man.



- "Kisi ke ghar pe jao, khana khao, especially the head of the state and say that I didn't like the food man, I don't like you, that is not cool...that is not our culture. Modi gave us a lot of respect."



- I live in Bandra, I will vote for my friends who I know do a lot of work there. But if there is a better candidate from other constituency, I will tell people to vote for that candidate. Just because I am voting for that person doesn't mean that everyone should vote for him.



- We live in a democratic country, I will do what I want to do as long as it is not hurting anyone.



- Why would Modi say sorry if he is not responsible for it. And if he is responsible for it then why the judiciary gave him a clean chit, why nothing happened?



Salman Khan on Saifai Festival

- No body can teach me what my moral responsibilty is.

- It's upto me whether I should burn my money, tear it apart or donate to someone.

- I went to Saifai as I was invited there. My job is to entertain people.

- It does not matter to me if people burn my effigy. Whatever I earned at Saifai, I donated it.
