This Friday, Pooja Bedi, an old friend of Salman Khan, shared a throwback post of them on Instagram.
Salman Khan, who is one of the biggest stars of Bollywood, is always talked about for his warm and kind nature. Now, Pooja Bedi, who is an old friend of Salman Khan, shared a heartfelt post about their long friendship and fun times.
Uploading two pictures from her talk show, which once hosted Salman Khan, Pooja Bedi quoted: “Childlike or childish? I’ve known Salman Khan since my teens. My funniest memory is of Ana Singh, his bestie and my bestie at the time, and me seeing the rushes of his film Maine Pyaar Kiya and feeling so stressed for him that a kabootar [pigeon] was being given so much importance in a song and that the film might not do well. We discussed how we had to be there for him and give him our shoulders to cry on should he need it. Of course, the film hit box office records; we laughed at ourselves, and the rest is history! The warmth, camaraderie, respect, and friendship have carried forward over the years.”
Talking about their friendship over the years, Pooja Bedi wrote: “Years later in 2005, I interviewed him on the sets of Just Pooja, my talk show on Zoom TV, and many masti-filled moments of the past were shared. He’s grown from strength to strength, personally and professionally, but the most heartwarming thing is that he hasn’t grown up. The curious, fun, naughty child in him is still alive, and thank heavens for that! Remember, there’s a difference between childlike and childish. May we all grow old, but never grow up!”
Pooja Bedi is the daughter of Promita Bedi and Kabir Bedi. She is an Indian actress, television talk show host, and newspaper columnist.
