Salman Khan was among the few actors who were invited for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's swearing in ceremony at Delhi. Now that Modi is facing a lot of criticism within 100 days of the formation of his government, Salman feels that he deserves to get some more time to prove himself.

"It has been just 100 days now; let's give him some more time - everyone deserves it. He is working from morning to night along with his team. People don't want to take responsibility here. I challenge everyone who is criticising him to first become a chairperson of their hosuing society, let alone run the country. Then you will know about the hurdles one has to face. We can barely run our households; who are we to run the country? But Modi is still doing that," says the actor, who is gearing up to host the upcoming season of reality show, Bigg Boss.

Salman also emphasises the need to let Modi have the freedom to make his decisions. "We have unanimously elected him as our Prime Minister, so we have to give him that respect. It is good to hear that he has lent a helping hand to Pakistan's flood- affected areas. It is not something that someone has asked him to say in front of the people; that's who he is," he says.

The Dabangg actor also seems to be a fan of Modi's drumming skills.

"I have seen him play the drum; he does it very well and it is very cool," says Salman.
