Salman Khan on the Salim-Javed split
Earlier, Salman Khan recalled the time when Salim Khan told him about the split with Javed Akhtar. Salman shared, “I remember when the partnership broke off, so my dad came home, he was disturbed. So, I was sitting at the dining table, and he said, ‘Javed and my partnership... He wants to break up. So I said, ‘Why? Didn't you say anything?’ He said, ‘No’. I said, there's got to be a reason. He said, ‘If he wants to go, he wants to go.’ So that's all he said. That's all he said.”
