Mumbai: Bollywood heartthrob Salman Khan recently made his first podcast appearance on his nephew Arhaan Khan's popular show, "Dumb Biryani".
During the heart-to-heart, the "Sultan' actor talked about a lot of things, including his issues with his father, Salim Khan.
He revealed, "There is a head of the family and that head of the family should be respected, because nobody would want you, from a family, from the people you love, to be unsuccessful or go through shit in your life. Like me and my father used to have this think - 'you're doing this, don't do this, you are going to get screwed'. So, my problem with my father was, how can he be right all the time, when I am so wrong? and that was the biggest thing I needed to change. So today, if I give you an advise, the way I speak to myself, you would hate me, because I speak to myself rather harshly."
Earlier, sharing the episode teaser on his Instagram, Salman Khan wrote in the caption, "I spoke to the boys a year ago, I'm not sure if they even remember all the advice. My first ever podcast appearance @dumbbbiryani comes out soon."
Available on YouTube, "Dumb Biryani" podcast features Arhaan Khan, Dev Raiyani, and Arush Verma.
Talking about Salman Khan's professional lineup, he is currently occupied with his forthcoming action thriller "Sikandar".
