Salman Khan has often had an interesting rapport with his co-stars: on-screen and off-screen. Recently, a co-star of Salman, Aasif Sheikh, spoke about the latter’s reckless driving episode. During an interview with The Lallantop, Aasif narrated that the actor was nabbed by traffic police and alike with him, was caught slipping through the footpath while riding on a bicycle.
While recalling the incident during the shooting of Bandhan, Aasif stated, “We were young then and Salman had an Esteem at that time. He made me sit next to him and he started driving everywhere on the footpath, on the road. I said, ‘Salman, pakde jayenge (we will get caught)’. I said, ‘Pakde jayenge toh yaar Salman Khan hain ghabrao mat. (Even if we get caught, don’t worry, you are with Salman Khan).”
He further said, “He rolled down the window and the traffic police actually did not recognise him. He [Salman] was like ‘Isne toh pehchana nahi. Maine kaha shirt utaar shayad pehchan le. (He said he didn’t recognise me. I said remove your shirt, he might recognise you then).”
Aasif has starred in several films with Salman such as Karan Arjun, Auzaar, Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar, Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha, and Bharat.
