Salman Khan, who has a major release coming up with Battle of Galwan, is famous for not giving too many interviews to mainstream media. However, that wasn’t always the case. Particularly in the early 90s, the actor partook in many video interviews, answering questions with his trademark laidback attitude and swagger. On Monday, a clip from an old Salman Khan interview went viral, where the Tere Naam actor can be seen exchanging sarcastic banter with the TV host Sushma Dutt, a Canada-based film journalist.
Salman can be seen sharing the screen with Vivek Mushran, where a light-hearted banter frequently veers into a heated territory where the actor appears miffed about the subject of scripting of his films. When Salman asks, “why won’t the film work?” the host responds, “because there is no script in it.” To which Salman says, “That’s how I do my films — no script at all.”
A little later in the interview, Salman can be seen begging the interviewer to let them go and end the interview, saying, “Let us go now please. Meri Maa…” to which the host too matches the energy as she says, “Bachcha.. You are free to go.” Again the actor’s tone in this portion is a mysterious blend of wit and irritation.
Salman can also be seen teasing Vivek about his squeaky chair, at which point the host signals the crew to end the recording, while comparing the interview to popular Indian interviewers like Ameen Sayani.
The exact timeline of this interview is not clear. Interestingly, Salman Khan made another appearance on Sushma Dutt’s show, nearly 2 years before this interview which was reportedly never aired.
