Richard Gere Talks about Salman on Koffee with Karan

You have met people from the Mumbai film fraternity – how different are they or how different is the vibe vis-à-vis in LA?
Frankly, I think we live more like normal human beings there, because I think your culture is so based on celebrities here – even much more than in US. I think, I may be wrong, in New York I can walk up and down. I don’t think Shah Rukh Khan can do that!

No, he can’t
And Shah Rukh Khan has been very kind and Salman Khan did an amazing thing on World Aids Day last year.

What did he do?
You know he was performing in front of his fans and he asked them, ‘Do you love me?’ and they said, ‘Yes’. And then he said, ‘This man here has HIV Aids, do you love him’…there was silence and he said, ‘I love him… and if I had HIV positive would you still love me’. And everybody said, ya…ya …and he said, ‘If you don’t love him, then you don’t love me and I don’t want you come for my movie’.

Well, Salman Khan is known for that – he speaks his mind.
And I like that.
