Slumdog Millionaire child actor Mohammed Azharuddin Ismail made a wish, and the Gods fulfilled it for the boy who went through much domestic upheaval recently when his shanty in Bandra���s Garib Nagar slums was demolished and his family was dishoused. What was Azhar���s wish? To meet his idol, Salman Khan. It happened at the R K Studio on Thursday. Azhar, dressed as Salman in Partner, came wearing a vest and the macho star���s trademark bracelet.
The boy had apparently practised getting the man���s moves, style and mannerisms right. He was, after all, going on Salman���s new game show with two other child stars ��� Darsheel Safary of Taare Zameen Par and Tanay Chheda of Slumdog fame. This is how the meeting went:
Azhar (awestruck, feeling Sallu���s muscles): How did you get this body?Salman: Murghi khata hoon. Tu khata nahin hai? Ki tu murghi palta hai? (This was in reference to Azhar���s pet hens Salman read about in BT. The birds are now dead and Azhar doesn���t enjoy chicken anymore.) Azhar: My favourite film is Tere Naam. And yours?Salman (smiling): Andaz Apna Apna. You seem to be quite romantic, Azhar. Which half of Tere Naam did you enjoy?Azhar: Second half. Mere dil ko chu gaya.Salman: Accha? Do you have a girlfriend? Get one and get married. Have babies.Azhar: But why are you not married?Salman: Abhi toh main bachcha hoon. Jab bada ho jaunga, shaadi bhi kar lunga. But what do you want to do when you grow up? Azhar: I want to be Salman Khan!Salman: Uske liye bada jigar chahiye. Hai ki nahin?Azhar: Bana lunga, abhi toh main bachcha hoon!Check out Salman Khan���s Homepage
