Mumbai, Oct 3 : Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who has completed 35 years in Hindi cinema, says he loves being the larger-than-life action star. As he is all set to celebrate his 35 years with 'Tiger 3', Salman said: 'People who have loved me since my debut, made me realise on social media that I have completed 35 years in cinema! It is a very special moment for me, filled with nostalgia, love, so much joy and also the pain when things didn't go as per plan. But I have loved every minute of my journey in the Hindi film industry.' He added, 'I'm glad to celebrate this personal milestone with the release of Tiger 3! I know that my fans love to see me doing action and I hope Tiger 3 is the perfect gift that they have been waiting for!'
