Salman Khan's father Salim Khan reveals not speaking to actor for months, latter says "whenever a person succeeds in life, they end up forgetting..."

Salim Khan, the veteran screenwriter and father of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, recently opened up about his relationship with his son, shedding light on the unique dynamics of their bond.

In an honest conversation with Magic Moments, Salim spoke candidly about the challenges of fatherhood, particularly his strict approach towards Salman, who is the eldest of his children.

Salim admitted that while he has scolded all of his children over the years, Salman has often borne the brunt of his reprimands. "I have scolded all of them, but Salman has had it the worst from me, particularly since he is the eldest among them," he said, revealing the tough-love approach he adopted with his son. Salim also recalled an instance when Salman remarked that his habits mirrored his father’s.

Salim responded sharply, "I said, 'Son, it may be a compliment for you, but not for me. Please understand that I don’t wish you to inherit any of my habits.’"
Reflecting on his own upbringing, Salim mentioned the fear he felt as a child when his father, a strict man, would enter the room. He recalled, "I would be scared stiff the moment I heard his leather boots on the floor," and added that he wanted his own children to see him as a friend rather than a disciplinarian.
