Salman Khan is one of the biggest superstars in the country right now, but there was a time when he used to be in news for all wrong reasons. The actor delivered the cult classic 'Andaaz Apna Apna', co-starring Aamir Khan in 1994, and while the film left the audience rolling on the floor laughing, seems like Salman wasn't too happy with it, after all.
An old video of Saroj Khan has been going viral on the internet in which she can be seen recalling about the time Salman had said that he will not work with her once he became a "top hero".
She also said in the video that Salman was upset with the dance steps assigned to him in 'Andaaz Apna Apna'.
When Salman Khan vowed to never work with Saroj Khan
In the old video interview, Saroj can be heard saying that Salman was hurt because he felt Aamir got all the "star moves" in 'Andaaz Apna Apna', while he was just given a dhol and a tabla to dance with.
The senior choreographer stated that she just did what director Rajkumar Santoshi asked her to do, and that if someone felt bad, then she was sorry, but there was nothing that she could have done anyway.
"You won't work with me, fine. Roti Allah deta hai, tu nahi deta. He said, 'When I become a hero and go on top, I will definitely not work with you'," she can be heard saying.
When Salman Khan promised to help Saroj Khan
While the actor and choreographer did not collaborate for over a decade, Salman came to Saroj's rescue a couple of years before her death.
Saroj had revealed that back in 2018-19, she was not getting any work and it was then that Salman had promised to get her work in his team.
However, the promise never came to fruition as shoots came to a screeching halt owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and in the same year, Saroj passed away at a hospital in Mumbai after being admitted due to breathing difficulties.
