Bipasha Basu’s estranged beau John Abraham couldn’t see eye to eye with Salman Khan, because of which the dusky actor too had to maintain a strictly cordial relationship with the superstar. Now, post her break-up with John, Bipasha is trying hard to get into Salman’s good books, and in a recent interview she made that clear.

“I don’t have to try hard to be in anybody’s good books. If I were that smart, I would have done it years ago. Honestly, Salman is someone with whom I have maintained a distance. So, there was a disconnect and, as a result, people assumed there was a lot of bad blood.

He is a nice guy. And I like Salman not because of his huge box office successes. I meet him once in a while. Salman is someone I look upto in terms of what he has done in Bollywood. He is a success story you can learn from.”
