Everyone has witnessed Salman Khan's journey to success, but only his close friends know how carefree he was during his younger days. In a new interview, his friend Aasif Sheikh revealed an incident when he accompanied the actor for a drive and was worried to watch him drive on the footpaths. Later, when the traffic cops pulled them over for rash driving, the cops failed to recognize the megastar. Read more to know the whole story.
Khan is known for his loyal friendships, and industry insiders often recall their interesting interactions with him. Likewise, his old friend and former co-star Aasif Sheikh sat down for an interview with The Lallantop and revealed one such incident.
Aasif shared that when they were young, the Tiger Zinda Hai actor used to own a Maruti Esteem, and they once went for a drive together. Soon, Aasif witnessed Salman driving on both the footpath and the road. As a result, he worried that they might get caught by the traffic cops for it.
Recalling the incident, he said, "Maine Kaha Salman, pakde jayenge." (I told Salman we would get caught.) Despite Aasif's repeated requests, Salman Khan said, "Pakde jayenge toh yaar Salman Khan hain ghabrao mat." (Even if we get caught, you are with Salman Khan, so don't get worried.)
Aasif Sheikh's worries came true when a traffic cop pulled their car over. However, both of them were surprised when the cop didn't recognize the megastar. Aasif shared that the Bodyguard actor was shocked that the cop didn't recognize him and said, "Isne toh pehchana nahi."
The Bombay To Goa actor found the situation amusing and jokingly asked the actor to remove his shirt, thinking it might help the cop recognize him. This incident occurred while they were shooting for the 1998 film "Bandhan."
Similarly, when they were filming for the film, Auzaar Khan rashly drove his car to scare away Aasif's friend, who came to meet him on set. He also revealed that he calls the Ready actor 'Sukhandi' due to his lean body.
For the uninitiated, Salman Khan and Aasif Sheikh shared screen space in several films, including Karan Arjun, Auzaar, Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha, and Bharat.
