Legendary screenwriter Salim Khan left fans worried after he was admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital on February 17. The 90-year-old was rushed to medical aid following complaints of swelling on Tuesday. At present, he is in the ICU and on the path to recovery. Among his family members, Salim’s son and Bollywood star Salman Khan visited his father. Amid the health scare, a past revelation by the Sholay writer, where he spoke about fearing his own father and his bond with Salman, has once again emerged on social media.
Salim, in a conversation with Magic Moments last year, shared how Salman once compared the veteran screenwriter with his father, Abdul Rashid Khan. To this, Salim responded that he did not wish the Sikander star to adopt any of his “habits”. Recalling the strained relationship with his father, he shared that even the sound of the leather boots on the floor of his father would struck fear in his heart. Hence, Salim wanted his children to perceive him as their friend and not fear him.
