In recent episode of his popular podcast Cyrus Says, actor-comedian Cyrus Broacha shared uproarious anecdotes about his interactions with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The stories revealed a more humorous and light-hearted side of superstar.
One standout moment was when Broacha recounted his time on Bigg Boss. He hilariously fell asleep while Salman Khan delivered a serious lecture to contestants. “I remember it was the first eviction and Salman was in his serious mode, giving a lecture. I was so out of it, I started dozing off. Salman was amused because he’d never seen a contestant fall asleep while he was talking. Usually, the contestants are all over him, but there I was, napping away,” Broacha giggled.
Broacha also revealed an amusing incident related to the food in the Bigg Boss house. He disclosed that Salman Khan had sent him eggs on day he left the show, “The eggs arrived, and just five minutes later, they told me I had to leave due to a personal issue. After I left, Pooja Bhatt’s father, Mahesh Bhatt, called to check on her, and Pooja ended up having a tiff with the other contestants. Apparently, as soon as I left, everyone rushed for the eggs. Pooja was quite upset, feeling it was a bit emotional,” Broacha shared.
Adding to comedy Broacha described unforgettable interview with Salman Khan during his MTV days. He was nursing a hangover. “I was out all night and completely drunk. Salman’s team called and said I had to do the interview the next morning. I had to stop at Lucky Biryani on the way because I was feeling so unwell. The only person who seemed to understand my plight was Salman Khan—no judgment at all,” Broacha laughed.
His podcast co-host Cyrus Sahukar, also weighed in. He shared a memorable anecdote. The only time Salman Khan seemed slightly irked was when Broacha repeatedly asked to touch arm during an interview. “Salman was generally super nice to Cyrus, but that was one moment when he was like, ‘Hey, take it easy,’” Sahukar recounted.
Broacha's tales offer refreshing glimpse into the more relaxed and relatable side of Salman Khan. They show that even Bollywood’s biggest stars have their humorous moments.
