Salman Khan’s Raksha Bandhan celebration wins praise for its secular message
A Raksha Bandhan celebration featuring Bollywood star Salman Khan and his sister Arpita Khan Sharma has gone viral, with social media users praising it as a message of religious harmony. A video shared by Arpita shows her performing aarti (a Hindu prayer ritual) before tying a rakhi on Salman’s wrist. The actor, dressed casually, smiles during the ceremony before showing off his rakhi-covered…
In 2008, filmmaker Subhash Ghai worked with actor Salman Khan on the film Yuvvraaj. However, their collaboration began after a significant disagreement between the two, which involved Salman allegedly abusing Ghai at a party. The incident was severe enough for Salman's father, Salim Khan, to intervene and request his son to apologize to Ghai.
In a recent interview with Times Now, Ghai recounted the events leading to their collaboration. He recalled that his brother approached him about making a film with Salman, and after some consideration, Ghai agreed, given that Salman had never been featured in a role he hadn't played before. Despite the film's lackluster box office performance, Ghai suggested that Salman's star power might have overshadowed his character, causing him to act as himself rather than the character intended.
The two had a fight during the filming of Yuvvraaj, with Salman, allegedly high, arguing with Ghai at a party. The argument escalated, and it was Salim Khan who intervened, asking his son to apologize to Ghai. The next morning, Salman did just that, apologizing to Ghai, and from that point, the two reconciled and became friends, eventually working together on Yuvvraaj.
Ghai has previously commended Salman's lack of nervousness, noting that the actor never gets anxious despite facing numerous crises.
