The premiere episode of Too Much With Kajol And Twinkle is shaping up to be a heartfelt one, as Salman Khan and Kajol revisited their first-ever encounter and shared memories of Kajol’s late father, filmmaker Somu Mukherjee.

Kajol revealed that she first met Salman Khan on the sets of her father’s film Sangdil Sanam. With a smile, she recalled, “I said Hi Uncle. I was just 12.” The lighthearted anecdote quickly gave way to an emotional moment when Salman remembered his close bond with Somu Mukherjee.

Salman shared, “Her father and I used to be very close. He used to be home almost twice a week. In fact, just days before he passed away, two days before he passed away, he had come home, with same energy, wearing his same lungi and he was going through a troubled patch and he wasn’t feeling well. He said ‘yaar aik drink pila.’ I said no Somu da. I am going in one or two days yaa. I was shocked. He said ‘pila de aik mere ko.’ I didn’t know what to do. He said ‘pila yaar.’ Then I made him a drink and then two days later he was no more.”

A visibly moved Aamir Khan asked Salman if Somu Mukherjee had been unwell at the time. Kajol quietly nodded, adding weight to the memory.
