Salman Khan assures he is not lonely, says sometimes his social battery runs out
Mumbai, May 19
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has assured his fans that he has plenty of attention from his vast social circle.
On Monday, the actor took to is X, formerly Twitter, and penned a long note in which he said that his previous statement about loneliness was simply and musing, and not the reflection of something that he is dealing with in life.
He wrote, "Arre yaar Mai apne bare mai nahi baat kar raha tha (Hey, I wasn't talking about myself). How can I be alone when I have such a large amazing family n friends n how can I be lonely when I have u guys,your wishes n Duas, I would be the biggest na shukra (ungrateful person) ever".
However, the actor then shared that sometimes his social battery runs out, and he just can't deal with people. Hence, he prefers some "me time".
"Kabhi Kabhi logon ke saath reh kar pak jaata hun, isliye some me time, Buss... Iss baar koi photo nahi breaking news bana diya, Mummy pooch rahi hai, Kya hua Beta? Chill maro yaar (Sometimes I get bored of being around people, so I take some time off, that's it... This time, no photos, you guys turned it into breaking news, Mom is asking, 'What happened, Beta?' Chill guys)", he added.
Earlier, the actor had pointed out the difference between being 'alone' and being 'lonely' through his latest social media post. He shared a jaw-dropping shirtless pic of himself flaunting his abs on social media, and shared that being alone is a choice, whereas being lonely is when no one wishes to be with you.
Salman wrote on his Instagram, "By I me myself, 2 ways to be by yr self, Alone and Lonely, Alone is by choice n lonely when nobody wants to be with u..... Ab iske aage you Figure out what you need to do (sic)".
Meanwhile, on the work front, the actor will be next seen in 'Maatrubhumi'.

Salman's post was actually refreshing. Hi-fi celebrities bhi insaan hote hain, kabhi kabhi logon se door rehna chahiye. Mummy ka reaction toh cute tha! 😂
I understand his point about social battery. Even in our daily Indian household chaos, we all need 'me time'. But why make such a simple thing into a news controversy? Chill karo, yaar!
100% agree with his philosophy on alone vs lonely. It's a mature take. But Salman, your abs pics with philosophical captions are becoming a bit predictable now! 😄
Isn't it ironic? Man who plays larger-than-life characters on screen, says he needs breaks from crowds. Honestly, more celebrities should talk about mental health and boundaries. Good on him for normalizing this. 🙏
Typical Salman style - 'Chill maro yaar' but then everyone starts overanalyzing. At least he clarified so his mom doesn't worry too much! Indian mothers are the same everywhere, no matter the stardom. 😊
Honestly, the media needs to
