When Salman Khan's uncle adopted a Nepalese domestic worker who was fired from job: ‘He's one of our brothers now'
While most people know about Salman Khan's adopted sister Arpita Khan, few are aware that the superstar also has a Nepalese brother. During the launch of Bigg Boss 11, Salman opened up about a lesser-known chapter from his family's past. He recalled how his uncle once adopted a young Nepalese boy named Tesu, who was abandoned after losing his job in their building. (Also Read: Salman Khan confirms film with Atlee is delayed, announces new actioner with Sanjay Dutt: Its action is on another level) When Johnny Lever's daughter, comedian-actor Jamie Lever, pitched a comedic situation about how everything goes sideways in a household when the domestic worker leaves, Salman recalled, "A similar situation happened at our house. When we were very young, a Nepalese boy named Tesu, who used to work on the fourth floor of our building, got into a fight with the flat owner's kid, and they fired him. Tesu, the poor kid, didn't know where to go because he had come from Nepal, so we gave him shelter at our house. However, people in the building complained about it." He added, "So my uncle from Indore had come down to Mumbai. He asked, 'What will you do about this kid? He doesn't even know where his home is.' So he said, 'I'll take him to Indore,' and he did. Today, Tesu is the owner of a property in Indore. My uncle adopted him. He got married, has three kids, and is one of our brothers now. His life changed." Salman was most recently seen in the action thriller Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. The film also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi in key roles. The film received mixed-to-negative reviews, with criticism for its weak storyline, and it failed at the box office. Salman will next be seen in another action film alongside Sanjay Dutt, which he announced during the promotion of Sikandar. In addition, he has Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick 2 in the pipeline.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has often spoken about how Suniel Shetty supported him during tough times and has expressed great admiration for him. In a recent interview with Lallantop, Suniel has now spoken about Salman being the most misunderstood person and defended his recent box office setbacks. (Also Read: Suniel Shetty is proud of Athiya Shetty for choosing natural delivery over C-section: 'Wow, she's ready') When reminded of the moment when Salman became teary-eyed while speaking about Suniel to his son during an IIFA event, Suniel reflected on his bond with Salman, saying: "Salman is the most misunderstood human being on the planet. If I had to describe him in words, one would be 'human being' and the other 'being human' – that is Salman. He is a human of another level with every act of his. I share a beautiful relationship with him. I don't meet him regularly, but there is a lot of love and respect." He went on to defend Salman's recent films that underperformed at the box office, saying, 'Unki flop hum ₹200 crore ki film ki baat karte hain, jabki aadhi industry ke liye vo hit nahi superhit hai (We call his ₹200 crore film a flop, whereas for half the industry, that would be considered not just a hit but a superhit). Sometimes you go wrong in selection of films. And he works from heart. When Salman gets a good subject film it will do magic. Unki naa chalne waali film ₹200 crore kamati hai. iss saal ki saari films ka number dekhlena you'll know it will be lower than a Salman Khan film (Even his underperforming films earn ₹200 crore. Just look at the box office numbers of all the films this year—you'll see they're lower than a Salman Khan film).' For the unversed, Salman's films have been struggling at the box office recently. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan faced criticism and earned only ₹184.6 crore worldwide. His next release, Tiger 3, which also starred Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, underperformed as well, collecting ₹464 crore worldwide. His most recent release, Sikandar, received mixed responses from the audience and was criticised for its dull storyline. According to the makers, the film earned over ₹200 crore in just 10 days; however, Sacnilk reported a worldwide collection of ₹184.6 crore. Salman will next be seen in another action film alongside Sanjay Dutt. He also has Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick 2 in the pipeline. Meanwhile, Suniel was most recently seen in Kesari Veer and will next appear in Welcome to the Jungle, which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Raveena Tandon, and others in key roles.
