Salman Khan is known for having nice patches with his co-stars. However, the actor recalled the time when he had done otherwise while encountering Sushmita Sen for the first time.
An old clip of the Race 3 actor has been resurfacing recently where he is seen speaking about the former Miss Universe and how she seemed ‘rude’ when she first met the actor.
In one of the episodes in a talk show, named Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, hosted by Farooq Shaikh, Salman revealed in a video message that he had arrived two hours late and kept Sushmita waiting in the film set. Upon introducing himself to the actress, Sushmita apparently replied with an attitude. The actor said, “One day I turned up late on sets, on the first day of shooting, at 11 o’clock. Sushmita Sen was there since 9 o’clock in the morning. So the moment I went to the sets and said ‘Hi Sush’ – that was the first time I was meeting Sush – ‘Hi Sush, how are you Sush? Salman’. And she just shakes my hand, she does ‘huh’ (with a side-eye) and she walks away.”
He continued, “So I turned and asked David (Dhawan), ‘What’s her problem, man? Why’s she giving me attitude?’ He says ‘She’s been ready with make-up here since 9 o’clock. That means she had to wake up at 7. I said. ‘That’s not my problem. I told you that I was gonna be (here) around 11-11:30.’ And then that was our first meeting.”
Salman later also revealed how kind hearted Sushmita is and how they became good friends, “There’s one thing that I really like about this girl sitting right in front is that she’s got a big heart. I remember that when we were shooting for Biwi No 1 in Miami. You know people do that on other people’s expenditure but out here, she herself hired a limousine and took her whole staff and went to a nightclub. (She ordered) the best of champagne and the best of dinner, and everybody was really happy. And she does these things quite a lot.”
Salman later concluded by addressing the Arya actress, “Alright, take it easy and don’t laugh that loud or if you’re getting emotional right now, there’s no need to get emotional.” To which Sushmita replied with a big smile on her face, “He’s such a sweetheart.”
Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen have worked together in several films, including Biwi No. 1, Tumko Na Bhul Payenge, Maine Pyar Kyu Kiya. In the recent past, Salman was also seen giving a shout out to his friend for her upcoming web series, Arya. He wrote in a post, “Arre wah Sush, how nice you looking ya. Totally killing it. So happy for you.”
