Challenges
Although Salman is the son of well known screenplay writer Saleem Khan, his father’s recognition didn’t help him to get a grand entry to Bollywood. His initial days were very tough. There was a time when Salman went to Aanad Girdhar, Director of B- Grade movies, to give him a chance to act in his films. Not only the director denied but asked the security guard to throw him out of his office. The Dabangg Khan developed health issues and battled medical conditions to train for a particular action sequence in the snow-capped mountains of Austria. "Shooting here meant dealing with unexpected situations. Literally a lot of pain had gone behind this sequence. Salman developed a health issue, but he still trained to film here and delivered on a tough action sequence”, said the director of the film. In August 2011, Khan admitted that he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, a facial nerve disorder commonly known as the "suicide disease". In an interview, he said that he has been quietly suffering from it for the past seven years, but now the pain has become unbearable. He said that it has even affected his voice, making it much harsher.
Failures
On 28 September 2002, Khan was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a bakery in Mumbai; one person who was sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery died and three others were injured in the accident. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped. On 24 July 2013, he was formally charged with culpable homicide in the case, to which he pleaded not guilty. Another case involves the alleged killing of a deer when Khan was filming the movie Hum Saath-Saath Hain in the forests near Jodhpur in 1998. In 2007, Salman spent a week in Jodhpur jail before the court granted him bail. In addition to the accusations of poaching of endangered antelopes under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, Arms Act was also filed against Khan for allegedly keeping and using firearms with an expired license.
