Salman Khan 'Beat Up Someone', Shouted Under Ex-GF's Flat: Childhood Friend Says Actor Couldn't Control Emotions

Actor Raju Shreshtha, better known as Master Raju, has opened up about his bond with superstar Salman Khan. In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, Raju revealed how he grew up in the same area as Salman, and the two would cycle together as kids. Raju praised Salman for having a pure heart, but also reflected on how the superstar couldn’t control his emotions.

Master Raju said, as quoted by SCREEN, “I knew Salman Khan much before Baaghi (the 1972 film in which they starred together). We come from the same area. We both come from Bandra. We used to cycle together, when he was doing Patthar Ke Phool, before shooting, he used to practice skating at Bandstand. I used to cycle, and he used to hold on to the carrier and practice skating.”

Raju said,

“Salman and I are friends from the time when people used to say, ‘See Master Raju is standing, and some boy is also standing next to him.’ So, I have been friends with him since he was nothing. He has been very nice and kind and very misunderstood. He is a very nice man. After that, he only got me to play a role in Baaghi. We went to shoot for the film in Ooty, and years after that, we did Chal Mere Bhai together.”

Recalling their childhood memories, he said, “We used to talk about anything. Salman and I have taken baths naked, but I don’t expect this today; he is a big star today. If I now go and be on his set and in his house for all the time, people will call me his chamcha.” He added, “He was funny, he never thought before saying anything, and he never used to think much before making friends. He is clean at heart. He was not calculative or manipulative. He is a very easy person, and that is why he has often been caught in controversies.”

However, he also said, “Salman has never had control over his emotions. Sometimes he would go and hurl abuses while standing under somebody’s building. He shouted while standing under his ex-girlfriend’s building. He would beat up someone, so he didn’t control his emotions. He is a very sweet man. He doesn’t work from mind. He works from his heart.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman Khan is busy shooting Battle of Galwan.
