00:00You get fired even now by your father?
00:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02What is your reaction when he screams at you?
00:04I just, right now, mum, I just feel when she hits me now, I just feel the hand.
00:08She hits you?
00:08Yeah, yeah, she top-loves me, you know.
00:10He can't handle those big houses with intercoms.
00:12He has to still do that.
00:19So the love is like that, that we still live in a, you know, at Galaxy apartment.
00:24So, we all three used to share one room.
00:27One room?
00:27Yeah.
00:28Because there were only two rooms.
00:29One for my parents and one for the children.
00:31Oh, there was no other choice.
00:32No, one room was for Alvira.
00:34Ah, of course.
00:35Then we three used to be, you know, staying in one room till the time we bought the flat next door.
00:41Right.
00:41And then Sohail moved there into a small, there was a two-bedroom there.
00:46So, Sohail moved into one room and I moved into the other.
00:49I've been to your tiny bedroom also, sir, when I narrated my first film to you.
00:52Your first film to me, so that was where, and nothing has changed.
00:55But what was it like?
00:56I mean, I just want to know that, you know.
00:57I've just moved down and my house is still there.
01:00You've come to my house so many times, it's again just a one-bedroom there.
01:03But why are you so confined to that space?
01:05Basically, he can't handle those big houses with intercoms.
01:08He has to still do that.
01:11Is that how you call anyone?
01:13Anyone.
01:13Has any member of your family ever told you a ground truth that really shook you up?
01:19Like something that really, like, you know, maybe career-wise or personal-wise or...
01:23So, there was a time when, you know, films were not working
01:28and I was really enjoying myself and working,
01:30but I was not getting that kind of work.
01:32So, now, one day I was having a conversation with my father and he said,
01:37you know, Salman, you've been one of the bigger and the highest-paid actor in the film industry
01:44and you've been working for, you know, the last 10, 15 years.
01:49What do you think that, how much money do you think you would have?
01:53So, I did a math, I said, you know, maybe about a hundred.
01:56He said, no, no.
01:58You've been working such a long time, you've been...
02:00So, I said, more.
02:02He said, idiot, if today there's an illness in the family,
02:07we will not have that money to save that person.
02:10And I swore on God, I just did this.
02:13I did that, I said, really?
02:15It was 11 o'clock in the morning.
02:17I went down and I saw my phone.
02:20I just made it up in my mind, I said, you know,
02:23this is something that I want to look into, totally look into.
02:26I remember at that point in time, I had gotten three calls.
02:30One was Rajkumar Santoshi's missed call,
02:32one was Sanjay Leela Bansali's missed call,
02:35and there was somebody else, Sunil Manchanda.
02:40That, three calls I had.
02:41They called to offer you work.
02:43Yeah, and we just called.
02:45So, I said, let's start from here.
02:48So, you also got that reality check at one point in time?
02:50I get it all the time.
02:51I get the reality check every...
02:53Do you get fired even now by your father?
02:55Yeah, yeah.
02:55What is your reaction when he screams at you?
02:57I just, right now, mom, I just feel when she hits me now,
03:00I just feel the hand...
03:01She hits you?
03:02Yeah, yeah, she just topples me down.
03:03So, I just feel that her hand will get hurt.
03:07So, even as kids, when she used to hit us,
03:09we used to feel really bad that mom doesn't get hurt.
03:12Dad, on the other hand, is a very strong hand.
03:16You haven't, in your older years,
03:18got slapped by your father?
03:19Oh, yes, of course I have.
03:20What is the...
03:21Nothing wrong.
03:22There's nothing wrong with that.
03:24There's nothing wrong with that.
03:25I didn't mind that at all because, you know...
03:30I want to know, besides your father,
03:32who has the guts to slap Salman Khan?
03:35They're worried for you.
03:36Yeah, of course.
03:37They're worried for you.
03:38And when they see you going wrong...
03:39No, no, we were talking too.
03:39I still get fired by my mother.
03:41And when she doesn't, she's done firing me...
03:43Your mother sent me a message three days ago.
03:45My apologies.
03:46Yeah, yeah.
03:47Complaining about me to Salman.
03:48Because he ends his show saying that,
03:50don't hassle your mother.
03:52And for some reason, my mother thought that
03:53Salman has become this brand ambassador
03:56of goodness to mothers.
03:57So, now change it.
03:59What do you do?
03:59Whatever you want, man.
04:00But don't let your mother trouble you.
04:01I think he's one of the coolest fathers.
04:04When dad and Jawed Sahib broke up.
04:06Right.
04:07Okay?
04:07He called all of us and he says,
04:08Look, he used to work.
04:12Now he's not working.
04:14Whenever you meet Jawed Sahib, Honey Aunty,
04:17you still give them that respect
04:20of Jawed Uncle, Honey Aunty.
04:23Farhan and Zoya, they're always going to be
04:26like the way they are with you now.
04:29They were with you.
04:31So, that thing got stuck.
04:33So, even when Shah Rukh had that problem,
04:37that was hardly a problem.
04:38One day something happened, we moved on.
04:42Never stopped anyone.
04:44That I saw.
04:44When they asked us.
04:45I saw that.
04:46I saw that with Arbaaz and Suhail.
04:47In fact, they gave him the same amount
04:50of love and respect that they always did.
04:52So, when I was asked, I said,
04:53No, that's nothing to do with you guys.
04:56Gauri is there.
04:57The children are there.
04:58The children are friends.
04:59Okay?
05:00You go for parties and all.
05:02You guys go.
05:03These small, small things don't matter.
05:04Yeah.
05:05The bigger ones, the larger ones.
05:07Right.
05:07So, then we stick by.
