He looks so handsome now, but it is not that has happened recently. Woh bachpan se hi khoobsurat the. He was an exceptionally good-looking child. There used to be a black-and-white picture of Salman in Salim sahab’s living room. It was a small frame. I don’t know if he still has it. The other kids were born in front of me.”

He further added, "Salman is ‘He Man’, the ‘dashing hero,’ but he was this shy boy, bohot hi kam bolne wala, bohot his chupp chaap rehne wala bacchha tha.

Whoever was Salim saab's friend, he used to build a special relation with them… People used to think wow he is such a sweet child. He never had ruffled hair.
