I'm not interested in getting married: Salman

Mumbai, Jan 6: Superstar Salman Khan says he is not interested in getting married and is happy being single.

"Now that I am single.. I can do whatever I can. There is no need to give explanation, or lie to anyone. Whoever wants to come (in my life) can come.. but don't expect anything," Salman said.

Ask him if he is commitment phobic, the 48-year-old says, "When I commit...then I commit. Right now, I am non-committal about anything."

But he does respect women. "I respect women and I will always continue to do it. I have never spoken ill about anyone," Salman said.

Salman has had relationships with various actresses including Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bijlani, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Katrina Kaif. His love-life and link-ups still continues to be the stuff of gossip mills.
