Sharing a personal experience with the Bigg Boss 20 contestants, Salman said, “Maine Pyar Kiya, ye kaam, wo kaam... phir main television pe aaya. Aur us waqt bahot saari negativity mere khilaaf, matlab court cases se leke, relationship se leke, pictureon se leke, har cheez.”
Salman recalled that amid the negativity surrounding him, he was offered the television show 10 Ka Dum. However, the actor revealed that he was initially reluctant to take it up.

The actor then recalled seeking his father Salim Khan’s advice on whether he should do the show. According to Salman, his father asked him, “Tumko tumhare upbringing pe bharosa hai ki nahi?” Salman replied in the affirmative, after which Salim Khan advised him to go ahead with the show if he trusted his upbringing.
Salim Khan further told him, “Be yourself in the show.” Recalling what followed, Salman said, “In that one show they got to know who I was.” He claimed that people eventually stopped associating him only with his films and began identifying him with 10 Ka Dum. Salman drew a parallel with Amitabh Bachchan, saying that people had similarly begun associating the veteran actor with Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC).
