Salman Khan made his Bollywood debut in a supporting role in Biwi Ho Toh Aisi. The film starred Rekha as the lead, and she became a mentor to the actor on set. In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, Biwi Ho Toh Aisi director JK Bihari opened up about Salman’s demeanour on set, recalling how the superstar was always punctual. He also reflected on Salman’s dynamic with Rekha.
Bihari shared, “Salman was really nice to me back then. There were no problems… He was serious (about work), but he didn’t know much back then. You had to be patient to get work out of him. He would always be on time on set.”
He also recalled how Rekha helped Salman when he fumbled during his scenes. “Sometimes, I would get annoyed because Salman would have problems saying his lines. He was new and didn’t have any training. Rekha would tell me to wait, and she would help him,” he said.
Rekha and Salman Khan have always shared a sweet bond. During a previous appearance on Bigg Boss, Rekha recalled, “I used to go on a walk in the morning, and he used to be so little, must have been 6-7 years old, he used to cycle. I used to walk ahead, and he used to follow me.”
“Unko malum hi nahi tha ki uss waqt inko mujhse ishq ho gaya tha (He did not know at the time, but he had fallen in love with me). It’s true because he went back and told his people in the house that I want to marry that girl when I grow up,” she added.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan is no longer the boy who doesn’t know anything on set. Today, he stands among the top actors of the country. He will next be seen in the Battle of Galwan. India Today recently reported that Salman is gearing up for one of the most important shooting schedules of the film. The team will film climax sequences in Leh and Ladakh over the next two to three weeks.
A source told the news portal, “Galwan’s climax is among the most important parts of the film, both visually and emotionally. Given Leh and Ladakh’s unpredictable weather, the makers want to ensure the quality of these sequences is not compromised. That is why they are planning to complete as much as possible during this schedule itself.”
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film revisits the harrowing 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops, a rare border skirmish that turned deadly without any firearms being used. Instead, soldiers resorted to hand-to-hand combat with sticks and stones, making it one of the most emotionally charged stories in recent Indian history.
