Bollywood actors Sushmita Sen and Salman Khan have worked in a few films like Biwi No 1. Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya, Tumko Naa Bhul Payenge to name a few. While working together, they have become good friends. But would you like to know how Salman’s first impression of Sushmita?
Well, as per reports in Hindustan Times, Salman once recalled his first meeting with Sushmita. An old clip of his video message to Sushmita shows Salman revealing that she was rude to him when they met for the first time. Salman said, “One day I turn 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.”
“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,” he added. Salman, who continues to be close friends with Sushmita, talked about a warm gesture of her during the film’s shoot: “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 wrapped his video by addressing Sushmita directly: “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.” Sushmita, smiling all the way, replied: “He’s such a sweetheart.”
