While many remain excited about their first-ever break, Salman Khan in an earlier interview had once revealed how he prayed nobody watch his ‘embarrassing’ performance in Biwi Ho To Aisi.

Salman Khan reveals how he ended up becoming an actor and not a director that he actually wanted to be

During a chat with Prabhu Chawla for Seedhi Baat in 2006, the Sikandar actor was asked how he stepped into Bollywood considering his father was a celebrated screenplay writer.

He shared that initially he wanted to be a director and would go around with scripts. However, he was quite young, so no one was willing to take him on board as a director. He recalled at the time of his debut he didn’t think he had the potential because he didn’t have "the height, the body, or the personality" to be a leading man.

Elucidating how then films like Mohalle Ka Dada, Police Inspector, and Lawyer were made about this genre where he wouldn’t fit anywhere. Later, he was then offered Biwi Ho To Aisi which he signed after hearing the script.
