In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, the actor who has?worked in movies like Aashiq, Baghban, and Force 2 among others said about Salman Khan, "There were some youngsters who wanted his autograph, but there was also someone who said, 'Arey leave it, why bother with autograph of a flop actor.' It is not that he didn't hear, we all did. Back then, no one would send even a flower for his birthday. Today, it is a celebration."
He added, "But Salman didn¡¯t take it negatively. He came out stronger, bigger and better and see where he has reached today."
"We used to hang around a lot at Bandstand, he used to come a lot at Salman's house also. Before he bought the bungalow (Mannat), we used to hang around there on the road at Bandstand. Me, Salman, Arbaaz, my brothers, Shah Rukh. Later when he became a star he bought that bungalow. When he had come to Mumbai, we would meet a lot, I would play video games with him," said the actor who left the industry and worked for an MNC for seven years.
Nasirr Khan who will next be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi?added, "We did this till Baazigar and Darr, till the time he became a superstar. When Darr released, people had gone mad over him. I realised that, ¡®Ab ye nikal gaya kyuki public paagal hogayi hai.¡¯ When we meet today, it is the same thing, we are normal and casual.? I keep meeting Salman often and I recently also met Aamir".
He said Shah Rukh Khan knew he wanted to rule the world. Talking about his 1 BHK, he said, "It was right behind his bungalow, with just had a hall, he would put a mattress and sleep there. Then he went to Carter Road and bought an apartment over there, which was also a normal flat. He could afford a bigger house by then, but he didn¡¯t buy. He knew, ¡®My dream is that, but let me first take care of my necessities.¡¯ He didn¡¯t have big fancy cars, drove around in normal cars.
