ISLAMABAD 13 April (Online): Salman Khan may have featured in item songs in Bollywood hits but on his sets, women are supposed to be covered up.
Actor Palak Tiwari, who will be making her Bollywood debut with Khan in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, revealed that the Dabangg actor had some specific rules with regard to dress codes for all the girls on set – low necklines were strictly forbidden.
Apart from the upcoming Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Tiwari revealed having worked with Khan as an assistant director on the 2021 film Antim: The Final Truth. Speaking to the Times of India about her first experience with Khan, the starlet revealed that he wanted all women on set to be “covered like good proper girls.”
She said, “Salman has a rule that no girl, on his set, should be wearing clothes with low necklines. They should be covered like good proper girls and he had a reason for it.” Calling him a traditionalist, she added, “He’s a traditionalist and always said that the girls can wear whatever they want. However, Salman feels that his girls should always be protected and safe. It (the set) is not his personal space where he trusts everyone; hence, he’s concerned about the safety of the girls around him.”
The starlet further shared an anecdote on how her mother, Shweta Tiwari, would be surprised when she’d “dress up all properly” and go to work. “She used to ask me where am I going with a proper shirt, joggers and all,” she said, adding that her mom lauded Khan when she found out about the rule. “My mom said, ‘Wow, very good,’” Tiwari laughed.
The romantic action thriller Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is set to release on Eid, on April 21. The Farhad Samji directorial stars Pooja Hegde, Shehnaaz Gill, Siddharth Nigam, Venkatesh, Vijender Singh, Jagapathi Babu, Bhumika Chawla and Abhimanyu Singh.
