Salim Khan Reveals Not Talking to Son Salman Khan for Six Months

Bollywood actor Salman Khan and father Salim Khan have a very loving relationship, and Salim is also seen supporting Salman during shoots and promotions, he was even present at the Sikandar trailer launch.

Recently, in an interview, Salim Khan revealed that there have been times when the father and son have not talked to each other for six months. “That has happened, yes. If he does something I don’t like or I feel that he has done something wrong, then I don’t talk to him. Then, if I am sitting near the window, he would nicely walk past the parapet. He would sneak out of the house without meeting me. Later, he would come back saying, ‘Sorry, what I did was not right.’ Something I have noticed is that whenever a person succeeds in life, they end up forgetting one thing: their growth as a human being. When a cricket player achieves greatness, they only focus on their game and nothing else,” said Salim Khan.

Salim Khan also shared that he would be terrified of his father and he did not want to that kind of a father to his children, “I would be scared stiff the moment I heard his leather boots on the floor”, further adding, “I wanted my kids to be my friends.” 

Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, popularly known as Salim-Javed, the iconic screenwriting duo have written numerous super hit films like Sholay, Zanjeer, Deewar among many others. But the duo suddenly separated after so many hits.

When asked about the separation, Salim Khan opened up “Even I never understood, how will explain it to anyone else? On one random day, he suddenly said that he wants to separate. We used to work together from morning till night. When he said I want to separate. I thought I didn’t hear him clearly, but he was asking for a separation. I said you must have thought it through, it can’t be a sudden thought. He said that he was thinking about it since a long time.”

Recalling the moment, Salim said, “He was coming to see me off till the car, but I stopped him and said, ‘I can look after myself’. I never felt any bitterness towards him. There was no fight between us. It was partnership that broke one day and no one got to know what happened and why”. The veteran actor-producer continued, “I never asked him again why it happened. What’s the point of asking why it happened. He did his own films separately, many announcements came out after that.”
