Sushmita Sen and Salman Khan they share a warm bond even today, but ‘Biwi No. Their first meeting on the sets of 1’ did not start well. Salman once recalled that Sushmita walked away from him after she was late for a shoot. The actor said he was surprised by her reaction, as it was their first meeting. The moment later became a lighthearted memory between the two stars, who went on to work together in more films.
Sushmita Sen and Salman Khan’s first meeting
Earlier in an interview with ETimes, Salman Khan recalled the incident when Sushmita Sen appeared as a guest on ‘Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai’, hosted by the late Farooque Shaikh. Salman said that he reached the set late while Sushmita was waiting since morning.“One day I turned up late on the sets, on the first day of the shoot, at 11 am. Sushmita Sen was there since 9 am. So the moment I went to the sets and said ‘Hi Sush’, that was the first time I met Sush, ‘Hi Sush, how are you Sush?’ she said.The reaction left Salman confused. He said he approached director Salman David Dhawan and asked, “What’s her problem, man? Why is she giving me attitude?”

That awkward start didn’t affect the long-term equation. Later Salman praised Sushmita in the same show. The two actors worked together in ‘Biwi No. 1’ and later collaborated in films like ‘Maine Pyaar Kyu Kiya’ and ‘Tumko Na Bhool Payenge’.Their friendship continued beyond the film industry. Sushmita was once seen dancing and cuddling with Salman at his birthday party. Salman also cheered her after the release of ‘Aarya 2’ and wrote, “Arre wah (Wow) Sush, how beautiful you are. Absolutely killing. So happy for you.”
