Aasif Sheikh, known for his role in Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain, recently opened up about an incident involving Salman Khan that left many surprised. In an interview with Lallantop, Aasif recalled a moment when the Bollywood superstar drove recklessly on a footpath and was eventually stopped by the police.
A long-time friend of Salman, Aasif’s bond with the actor dates back to the ’90s. They have shared the screen in multiple films, enjoyed parties together, and even found themselves in some tricky situations. During the interview, Aasif humorously recounted several incidents, emphasizing Salman’s penchant for rash driving.

Another story Aasif shared was from the sets of their 1998 film Bandhan. Salman, who owned an Esteem car, made Aasif sit beside him and began driving along the footpaths. Recalling his reaction, Aasif mentioned warning,
“Mai ne kaha, ‘Salman, pakde jayenge’. Kehta ‘Pakde jayenge toh yaar Salman Khan hain ghabrao mat. Aage pakad liya traffic wale na, usne genuinely nahi pechana us time, vo kehta hai, ‘Isne toh pehchana nahi’. Mai ne kaha, ‘Shirt utar shayad pehchaan le.'”
