Nasirr Khan recalls childhood memories with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan
In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Nasirr Khan who is also the son late legendary actor Johnny Walker walked down memory lane as he talked about his days of friendship with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan from childhood. On being asked about how both the Khans were in their early childhood, Nasirr said that they are all the same and there is no difference. He also revealed that Aamir Khan and his mother were childhood friends while his father and Salman Khan’s grandfather (who was an inspector) were childhood friends from Indore.
Reminiscing early days of his friendship with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan when Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak had released and Maine Pyar Kiya was about to release, they used to play cricket together. Reflecting on the competition between both the stars during early years, the Baghban actor said, “It was a healthy competition. Even during Andaz Apna Apna, when I used to go there, there used to be so much fun. Because, Aamir is very prim and proper. He (Salman Khan) was like, ‘Chlo take karo na. Khatam karo na (let’s do the shot and finish it). Let’s go home.’ And he (Aamir Khan) was like, ‘No, no. I have to do this. I have to do that.’ It was a fun banter between the two of them. Because uska (Aamir Khan) kaam karne ka treeka alg hai. Salman ka kaam karne ka tareeka alag hai (both of them have different styles). They are two different people.”
“But aisa nahi hai ki dost nahi hai. Sab dost hai lekin ek professional rivalry hoti hai (But that doesn’t mean the two are friends. Everybody is a friend, but there is always a professional rivalry),” he further said by adding everybody was young at that time, and it was just a phase when everybody did mistakes.
