Javed Akhtar Remembers Salman As A “Very Shy, Quiet Child”

MUMBAI (ANI) – Legendary screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar, memory lane and shared how Salman and Arbaaz Khan were as children.

“Our kids told such amazing things about us today. But they were very young, and they don’t remember much. We do. When I met Salim Sahab for the first time, Salman wasn’t even one year old. It was 1965.”

Apart from his acting skills, Salman is loved by his fans for his charming looks and the veteran lyricist shared that he was good-looking since childhood. “He is looking so handsome now, but he has been beautiful since childhood. He was an exceptionally good-looking child.”

“Today, Salman is the he-man and this dashing hero, but he was a very shy and quiet child who spoke very less. Jo badmaash bachcha tha, woh tha Arbaaz. He was a regular seducer. He would befriend Salim sahab’s friends and build a special relationship with them. Arbaaz doesn’t remember the things he did as a child. When people would mingle with him, he would think ki yeh toh bada kamaal ka bachcha hai.”

He also talked about Arbaaz’s self-love, saying, “He would comb his hair. I’ve never seen a 6-year-old child combing his hair. So, his self-love has been great.”
