Early one morning, as the clock strikes five, Salman Khan steps out of his house. He’s wearing a tracksuit and sports shoes, and attached to his arm is a nifty iPod. He starts playing his Himesh Reshammiya playlist, and begins to jog. <\/p>\n
Salman jogs. Himesh starts singing “Aashiq Banaya Aapne”. Tere bin sooni sooni hain baahein\/ Teri bin pyaasi pyaasi nigaahein\/ Tere bin bin asar meri aahein\/ Tere bin.<\/i><\/p>\n
Salman begins to run. Tere bin lamha lamha sataye\/ Tere bin bekarari jalaaye\/ Tere bin chain mujhko naa aaye\/ Tere Bin.<\/i><\/p>\n
Salman begins to sprint, sweat pouring down his bare chest inside his tracksuit. Aashiq banaya-aa-aa\/ aashiq banaya-aa-aa\/ aashiq banaya aapne!<\/i><\/p>\n
And then, when he’s really engrossed in the song, Salman feels something beneath his feet. Damn<\/i>, he thinks, Mumbai’s roads suck.<\/i><\/p>\n
Just then, someone starts shouting at him. He switches off the iPod and turns around. It’s a pavement-dweller, a woman, standing there and screaming at him. Then Salman looks down at her feet and realises what he ran over: two other pavement dwellers. This woman’s family. No wonder she’s screaming.<\/p>\n
“Hey, lady, I’m sorry,” he says, in that weird accent that passes for foreign in some of his films. “I didn’t mean to run over them. But you should chill, you know. I’m saving the planet. What’s a pavement dweller or two in that cause?”<\/p>\n
“Saving the planet?” asks a blogger who happens to be there, leaning against a lamp post. “What do you mean, saving the planet?”<\/p>\n
“I’m running to lose weight, man, I’m running to be more slim. So I’m saving the planet.”<\/p>\n
“What do you mean?”<\/p>\n
