Ah, Bollywood! Always full of surprises and drama, isn’t it? Dive with me into the not-so-glamorous beginnings of our very own Bhai, Salman Khan. This tale is about friendship, financial hiccups, and of course, a dash of filmi masala.
Salman Khan, now the sultan of Bollywood, wasn’t always swimming in pools of cash. Picture this: the son of the legendary scriptwriter Salim Khan, strutting onto the silver screen in 1988 with "Maine Pyar Kiya," but still counting his pennies. Yep, you read that right! Our macho man once faced such paisa problems that he had to ask a buddy for a loan. Talk about a twist in the plot!
In a candid chit-chat with his nephew Arhaan Khan on the YouTube show "Dumb Biryani" (seriously, who names these things?), Salman spilled the beans about a time when he had to borrow a whopping ₹15,000 while working on "Sanam Bewafa" in 1991. "Back then, ₹15,000 was like a mini fortune," he reminisced. Imagine our Dabangg hero in Manali, eyeing something fancy but pockets khali. Thank heavens for friends, right? 😂
Salman’s Manali Mantra: Dosti Mein No Demands!
Back in the day, just after he hit it big with "Biwi Ho To Aisi" and "Maine Pyaar Kiya," Salman was still grappling with financial woes. But his heartwarming takeaway from those days? True friends don’t demand – “There are friends who stick around for you, and then there are those who want something from you. Keep the latter out of your life!” Wise words, Bhai! ✋
Despite his rollercoaster journey, Salman has maintained rock-solid friendships with industry stalwarts like Sajid Nadiadwala and Sooraj Barjatya. And let’s not forget his Being Human initiative, helping those in need. From borrowing money to giving back, Khan saab has come full circle, hasn’t he?
Kiran’s Gyan:
Bollywood Dosti 101: In this filmi duniya, the real blockbuster is friendship without a price tag. Because, let’s face it, who wants a friend who’s only there for the premiere night and disappears when the credits roll? 😎
