Salman Khan opens up about time when he was in prison
During his first-ever podcast appearance, Khan reflected on his journey. One of the excerpts of the conversation that caught everyone's attention is when the Dabangg star briefly opened up about the time when he was in prison.
While discussing the importance of hard work and disciple, the actor emphasised that making excuses, such as needing sleep, only acts as an obstacle in achieving success.
He said, "'I am tired.' No, get up. No matter how tired you are. 'I don't get sleep'. Don't sleep. Do something, you'll automatically go to sleep. So I don't understand these things... I sleep for an hour and a half or two hours and then someday, once in a month, I sleep for seven hours."
"Somedays I'll get a five-minute break between shots so I'll sleep on the chair. In places where I cannot do anything, like when I was in jail, I slept. I couldn't do anything about it... When it comes to your work or family, the effort that you have to keep on putting in... you just need to be there for friends and family and work," he added.
His imprisonment was linked to a controversial case involving the illegal hunting of blackbucks in 1998.

When Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan burst crackers outside Rakesh Roshan's room
It has been 30 years since Karan Arjun was released, but the film remains etched in the memories of fans for its epic tale and the legendary chemistry between its two leading men, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Now, a recent interview with veteran actor Ashok Saraf offers new glimpses into the mischief and camaraderie that defined the film's behind-the-scenes moments. Speaking to Radio Nasha Official, Saraf confirmed long-circulating stories of the pranks the Khans would pull on set. 'Yes, yes,' he said when asked if Shah Rukh and Salman used to burst crackers and fire fake guns outside director Rakesh Roshan's room. 'I never used to go wherever this was happening. Kisi ko sataana ho toh main door hu (If someone's being troubled, I stay far away). But yes, both of them used to have a lot of fun.' According to Saraf, the duo wasn't alone. Their frequent partner-in-prank was none other than legendary comic Johny Lever. Saraf added, 'With him, I'd also... well, I wouldn't join in the pranks, but I'd be around.' In an earlier Radio Nasha interview, director Rakesh Roshan recalled, 'They would be outside my room shooting guns. I would be sleeping at night and I would hear guns going off, bottles flying. I would ask them, 'What are you doing?'' Despite the disruption, Roshan has always spoken fondly of his two leads, whom he considered like sons. Shah Rukh Khan, in the docu-drama The Roshans, reflected on those days with equal parts nostalgia and sheepishness. 'Pinkie ji scolded me a lot,' he admitted. ''You are troubling Guddu a lot. I didn't expect it from you.' Between Salman and me, I was slightly better behaved—at least on the face of it. I was like, 'I didn't do anything. It's all his (Salman) doing.' We were two young kids, really troubling a father figure, to be honest.' Released in 1995, Karan Arjun starred Shah Rukh and Salman as reincarnated brothers seeking vengeance for their mother (played by Rakhee Gulzar), with a powerful supporting cast including Kajol and Amrish Puri. The film was a massive hit and has since earned cult status in Indian cinema.

Salman Khan wishes he'd heeded father Salim Khan's advice earlier
Bollywood star Salman Khan recounted the precious piece of advice he got from his father, the legendary screenwriter Salim Khan. He shared a thoughtful message that no one can force anyone to do something and wished he had heard his father's advice earlier; however, Khan said it's "never too late". Taking to Instagram, he wrote a cryptic post along with a picture of himself in black T-shirt, "Present becomes yr past, past catches up 2 your future, present Is a gift, do right with it, mistakes repeated becomes a habit n then your character, dont blame any 1 , no 1 can make u do anything that u don't want to. My dad just said this to me, it's so true. Kash I heard this earlier but never too late." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Salman Khan (@beingsalmankhan) After his post, netizens dropped heart emojis and expressed their love for the superstar. Salman was recently seen in Sikandar, alongside Rashmika Mandanna. The film also starred Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Jatin Sarna, Sanjay Kapoor, Prateik, Smita Patil, and Kishore. In the film, Salman plays Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot, a man trying to fix his past after a tragic incident. Despite the big names, Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss, failed at the box office. Khan will don the army uniform in Apoorva Lakhia's directorial Battle of Galwan, based on the Galwan valley clashes at the India-China border in 2020. Twenty Indian soldiers had died during the Galwan valley clash on June 16, 2020, while the Chinese side too faced heavy casualties. Following the clashes, tensions between India and China rose with the army deploying formations near the Galwan Valley, along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, and undertook a range of activities such as surveying border areas to stop a "possible" Chinese aggression. Since the clashes, India and China have disengaged from various border areas steadily, and have also created a buffer zone in various areas. Salman took to social media earlier to announce the project, unveiling a powerful motion poster.
