Salman says don't call him Bhai

This is one term of endearment Salman Khan would rather do without. The brawny star, who's made a successful career out of playing the saviour, thus earning the sobriquet of Bhai, and the sisterly affections of his many female fans, does not want to be the Big Brother anymore.

The reason? He has marriage on his mind. It all started with an event in Dubai earlier this month, when someone addressed his as Bhai. The star retorted saying, he has two sisters who call him Bhai and that is more than enough for him.

According to the buzz generating from his inner circle, there is more to Salman's allergy to 'bhai' products. The prolonged illness and complicated neuro-surgery has apparently made the 46-year-old star acutely conscious of his single status. Mirror has learnt that Sallu Bhai...oops.. Sallu... confided in a trusted co-star that it gets awfully lonely at his age and he's seriously considering marriage.

The co-star and friend said, "Salman has changed. He has become progressively protective and guardian-like towards his younger heroines Kareena, Katrina and Sonakshi. But the flip side is, he now feels that if he continues to be the universal 'Bhai' no girl would ever want to marry him." And the first step towards getting hitched is getting people, especially women, to stop calling him Bhai. Suniel Shetty who has known Salman for years, and who was also stopped calling him Bhai, says, "It is true Salman doesn't like to be addressed as 'Bhai' any longer.

He is convinced it keeps the girls away." This was corroborated by another friend of the actor, who said, "Salman has told all of us guys that only Arbaaz and Sohail and his sisters will be allowed to address him as 'Bhai.' He is fed up of being the universal brother. He keeps saying he can never find a soul-mate if he continues to be 'Bhai' to everyone." To twist his certain co-star's words... Hume thappad se nahin...bhai se dar lagta hain sahab!
