Kyun pehen rahe hai? ‘Unhone pehna hai isliye.’ Unhone kyun pehna hai? ‘Maloon nahi (What Salman Khan wears, college students do the same. Why they do it?

‘Because he is wearing it.’ Why is he wearing it? ‘I don’t know’).” He continued, “Sabhi baaton mein aesa, acchi baat buri baat, fashion se hi chalta hai. Fashion utpanna karne waale log hote hai woh samaajh k vishwas paatra, shrestha, keerteemaan, aese log hote hai… (It’s the same in every matter, good or bad, everything is driven by fashion. Those who start fashion in society are called trustworthy people, excellent, achievers, such people),” Sitting among the audience, Salman Khan was seen smiling and listening closely.
