Actor Aasif Sheikh, who has become a household name with the sitcom 'Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai!', recalled the time when he shot with Salman Khan for the 1998 film Bandhan, and how the superstar would drive his car rashly just to have fun. He also revealed that the actor was caught by the cops for rash driving, but he managed to get away with it.
Sheikh told Lallantop how he shared a brotherly bond with Salman, thanks to the number of films they have worked in together. "We were shooting for Bandhan and both of us were quite young and enthusiastic at that time. I remember he once made me sit next to him in his Esteem car, and drove rashly all over the place -- on the footpath, on the roads..." he shared.
He went on to say, "I warned him that we will get caught. But he said, 'Pakde jayenge toh yaar Salman Khan hai, ghabrao mat!' And we did get caught eventually. A traffic cop pulled us over and Salman rolled down the car window, thinking the cop will spare him. But the cop actually did not recognise him!"
Aasif added that he jokingly suggested Salman to take his shirt off, then maybe the cop will recognise him.
The actor also shared another similar incident from the sets of Auzaar when the superstar rashly drove the brand new car of Aasif's friend in Hyderabad.
It is to be noted that in 2002, Salman was accused of killing a person and injuring three others sleeping on a footpath in Mumbai with his car. In 2015, he was acquitted in the hit-and-run case due to 'lack of evidence'.
Salman and Aasif's collaboration goes a long way and they have worked in a number of films together, including Karan Arjun, Auzaar, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Bharat, and the latest one being Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.
