The making of Salman Khan

Salman Khan, who has been juggling the shoot of his reality game show with a dance tour and film commitments, has taken to sharing nuggets from his life within the Khan household and his growing up years.
While shooting for the latest episode of the game show, the actor reminisced about love in the pre social media age and revealed that quite unlike the current generation, that has moved on to instant messaging, he enjoys exchanging good old letters with his loved ones even now.
When the topic inevitably veered towards first love, Salman admitted that he’d found his childhood sweetheart while frantically looking for a washroom.

A source from the sets reveals, “During his school days in Gwalior, Salman and his friends had planned a trip to Dehradun. While roaming around and taking in the sights, the group drank multiple glasses of 'jaljeera paani', which was soon followed by a desperate hunt for a toilet.”
And quite like a Bollywood meet cute, Salman happened to stumble across one and met a local girl at its entrance.
“He returned to Gwalior soon after that, but they kept in touch by writing letters to each other. The correspondence lasted for almost a year. Salman revealed that he put an end to it when he realised that she had brotherly feelings towards him,” the source added.
At another point, Sallu revealed that his father, veteran script writer Salim Khan, calls his mother ‘Oye’ lovingly while she, Salma, addresses him as ‘Miyan’.
“He went on to clarify that he never lets anyone touch his feet because he believes that genuine respect is better than such gestures,” the source informed.
