* Shahid and Kareena made no effort to chat, while Ash made an effort and avoided Vivek Oberoi.

Watch Salman Khan Promoting 10 Ka Dum

Salman Khan was affable and forthcoming at a Sony Entertainment Television press event to announce their new programming lineup for 10 Ka Dum late noon on May 21, at the ITC Grand Maratha.

The programming lineup includes a second season of Salman Khan hosted 10 Ka Dum. Salman’s presence at the event debunked recent media reports of differences between him and Sony.

Recently back from filming in London, Salman was peeved with reports that he had 'harassed' Sony because they had slashed his paycheck for the second season of 10 Ka Dum.

“You keep writing false stories and when there is no reaction, the falsehood continues. If you react, more will be written,” Salman said.

"I was given big money in the first season. But, now it is recession time. The reduction in my fees for the second stint is not as much as it is being reported," he added.

Salman played politically correct when baited by a scribe who commented that TV shows hosted by rival Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar had not done so well.

Salman said he felt sorry that Shah Rukh hasn’t yet committed to a second season of Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? because the show gave everyone on this planet a chance to fame. As for Akshay and his Khatron Ke Khiladi was concerned he said, “I just wish him luck and wish that his show rocks.”

Salman who invited a lot of his celebrity friends on the first season of 10 Ka Dum was asked if he would invite Shah Rukh Khan on the show this year.

“Shah Rukh is more than welcome and I reckon he’ll be lucky enough to join me on 10 Ka Dum,” he joked.

“In fact I would love to have stars like Govinda, Sunny- with his cute smile, Dharam Ji and Sanjay Dutt on 10 Ka Dum. These people make the show interesting. As for the female celebrities I wish Madhuri and Sridevi would join me some time.”

“Since Sony is handling the celebrity aspect of 10 Ka Dum, I am completely clueless about it.”

Asked why he did not vote despite campaigning for so many political candidates during the recent Lok Sabha elections, Salman’s unguarded candor was endearing.

“I have campaigned only for my friends. And many of the election statistics say that only 29% and 47% people have voted in several regions, which shows people’s attitude towards the voting system. Secondly during the elections I was busy shooting and don’t have any big money and ample time like the other celebrities to travel all the way to vote and return back. I don’t like doing all this kind of show business.”
