Salman Khan’s Childhood Friend Paints Mixed Portrait in New Interview

Raju Shreshtha describes a kind nature alongside impulse-driven outbursts based on personal memories.

Overview

  • Speaking with interviewer Siddharth Kannan in remarks published on Feb. 9, Raju Shreshtha offered a firsthand account of Salman Khan’s character.
  • He praised Khan as generous, non‑calculative, and someone who follows his heart rather than his head.
  • He alleged past outbursts, including shouting under an ex‑girlfriend’s building, hurling abuses outside homes, and occasionally beating someone, framing these as examples of poor emotional control.
  • He recalled Khan telling him that a large share of earnings went to legal fees during the 1998 blackbuck case, which he said caused significant stress.
  • He grounded his perspective in a long friendship from Bandra, citing childhood time together and later work on Baaghi and Chal Mere Bhai.
