'Stay away from Salman Khan between 2 pm to 6 pm,' Mika Singh advises. Singer reveals how to meet the superstar
When it comes to Bollywood 's biggest names, Salman Khan is undoubtedly in a league of his own. Known for his generosity, charisma, and larger-than-life persona. While fans see the mega-star radiate swag on-screen and warmth off-screen, those who've interacted with him up close know there's a method to approaching Bhai.

Apparently, Salman has what Mika calls his 'cranky hours." He joked that at night, the actor is in a completely different mood than in the day, implying that Salman is a completely different person once the sun goes down. During the day, the superstar is mostly reserved, lost in thought, and likely to ignore even people he'd shared a meal with just hours earlier. Mika backed this up with a hilarious anecdote involving the Meet Bros. The composer duo had shared biryani with Salman one night and, understandably, assumed they'd bonded. But when they saw him at the Race 3 premiere the next day and tried to say hi, Salman walked right past them—without even a glance.

Singer responds) During the interaction, Mika said, 'Mujhe jab bhi mauka milta hain Salman Khan bhai se milne ka, toh woh bohot open ho jaate hain. Do drink ke baad woh aisa karte hain jaisa main unka bada bhai hoon. Ya shayad main Salman Khan sir ke level ka hoon. Woh aisa realise karate hain. Lekin aapko pata hona chahiye, chahe woh 2 peg ho ya 4 peg, ki woh Salman Khan hain! Toh agar apko ye pata rahega toh aap kabhi maar nahi khaoge (Whenever I get the chance to meet him, he becomes very open. After two drinks he treats me like I am his elder brother or that both of us are equals. He makes it so comfortable. But one should remember that he is Salman Khan. If one knows this, then they are saved).' He went on to add how he had met the star first during the shoot of Janam Samjha Karo, and said, 'Mujhe itni akal nahi thi ki main jaake unke paao paru aur bolu ki, 'Sir, mujhe aap ke saath ek gaana karna hain.' Woh bade pyaar se shoot dekhte rahe aur thode time baad unhone humare saath chai bhi peeyi. Itni akal nahi thi ki contacts le lein (I was so foolish back then, to not have approached him and asked for his contact. I should have told that I want to sing a song for him. He saw the shoot and had tea with us later).' Mika shared how Salman must have thought he was such a cartoon back then after he sang a song in front of him. On the work front, Salman was recently seen in the Eid release Sikandar. The film was directed by AR Murugadoss and also starred Rashmika Mandanna.
