Is Salman Khan moody or unpredictable on sets? Co-star Mukesh Rishi weighs in: ‘Over time, life changes…'
Seasoned actor Mukesh Rishi, renowned for his performances in films like Ghayal, Gardish, and Sarfarosh, recently reflected on his time working alongside some of Bollywood's biggest names. He recently shared warm recollections of collaborating with Salman Khan while also setting the record straight about widespread assumptions regarding the actor's demeanor. He said, "Over time, life changes, and people stop meeting, but Khan is often misunderstood." In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, veteran actor Mukesh Rishi spoke fondly about working with Salman Khan, mentioning that they had collaborated on two or three films. He described Salman as a warm and friendly person who often took the lead in creating a light-hearted and enjoyable environment after shoots. Reflecting on their time filming Bandhan in Bangalore, Rishi shared that post-pack-up plans would frequently include outings to restaurants or pubs. He also noted that they sometimes worked out together, highlighting the strong camaraderie they developed during their time on set. Addressing long-standing rumours about Khan being moody or unpredictable on set, Mukesh Rishi clarified that he never witnessed such behaviour during their time working together. He said there was never a moment that felt uncomfortable or off between them. While he acknowledged that, with time, life changes and people naturally drift apart, meeting less frequently, attending fewer gatherings, and no longer working together, he emphasized that any perception of Salman's moodiness was likely a misunderstanding. When asked if he had ever partied with Salman Khan, Mukesh Rishi responded with a laugh, confirming that they had indeed shared drinks together. The veteran actor also reflected on his experiences with other major Bollywood figures. Speaking about Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi mentioned that they had worked together on three to four films. He described their dynamic as one built on mutual respect, noting that while Bachchan wasn't particularly chatty on set, a strong professional rapport existed. He added that genuine affection and respect are never forced, they come naturally. Rishi characterized his relationship with Akshay Kumar as more reserved and strictly professional, saying their interactions were mostly confined to discussions about on-set happenings. On the other hand, he recalled Aamir Khan as someone with a more outgoing personality, joking that wherever a group was gathered, Aamir would somehow end up joining in.

Salman Khan Is 'Misunderstood', Says Mukesh Rishi: 'We Drank And Worked Out Together'
Last Updated: Mukesh Rishi recalls Salman Khan as a friendly co-star who partied and exercised with him, dismisses rumours of him being moody. Veteran actor Mukesh Rishi, best known for his roles in films like Ghayal, Gardish and Sarfarosh, has opened up about his experiences working with top Bollywood stars. In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, the actor fondly recalled his fond memories of working with Salman Khan, dismissing common misconceptions about the superstar's personality. 'Salman was someone I did two or three films with. He's incredibly friendly and always took the initiative to create a fun atmosphere in the evenings," he said. Speaking about their time filming Bandhan in Bangalore, Rishi added, 'After pack-up, plans would be made to go out, maybe to a restaurant or a pub. That's the kind of bond we shared. Sometimes we'd even exercise together. There was a real sense of camaraderie." Addressing longstanding rumours that Salman is moody and unpredictable on set, Rishi set the record straight. 'I never experienced any mood swings from him. We never had a moment that felt off. Over time, of course, life changes, and distance grows as people stop meeting, stop attending parties, and stop working together. But I never saw that side of him. In fact, people often misunderstand," he shared. When asked whether he ever partied with Salman, the actor chuckled and admitted, 'Yes, we did drink together." The actor also spoke about his interactions with other Bollywood stalwarts. Recalling his time with Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi said, 'I've done three to four films with Amit ji. There was always a respectful working relationship. He wasn't the kind to engage in lengthy conversations, but the rapport was always there. Love and respect can't be forced, they come from the heart." Mukesh Rishi described his relationship with Akshay Kumar as more formal and work-focused. 'The conversations were limited to what happened on set," he noted. He also spoke about Aamir Khan's sociable nature. 'Wherever four people are sitting, his chair will find its way there," he joked.

This actor and his wife were superstars in Bollywood, but their son and daughter became huge flops, their names are...
In today's era of Bollywood, the industry has seen various actors making their way, and the majority of them are from a background of actors and actresses. The word nepotism is not new in the industry, and there has been a long-form debate on the same. However, there are times when daughters and sons of famous superstars fail to impress the audience despite their parents being fan favourites. A similar case happened with the actors we are going to discuss today. These two actors have been the most celebrated of their times. However, their kids couldn't do big on the big screen. The actors we are talking about are the iconic stars Raj Babbar and Nadira Babbar. These two actors have been a part of hit films such as Nikaah, Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Prem Geet, Ghayal, Samandar, Khandaani, Jai Ho. While both these actors are iconic figures in the Bollywood industry, their kids — Juhi Babbar and Arya Babbar — never succeeded. Juhi Babbar's Magic Did Not Work The elder daughter of Raj and Nadira Babbar — Juhi Babbar — worked in Bollywood and TV. She featured in small roles in movies like Reflection, Aiyaary, Faraaz, Kaash Aap Hamare Hote. However, her films never did big on the big screens, and neither was her performance liked by the audience. As a result, the tag of a non-performer came to her despite coming from a house of top actors. Arya Babbar Gave a Shot but Failed Raj's son Arya Babbar made his debut in 2002 with the film Ab Ke Baras. The movie turned out to be a huge flop and could not even recover its budget. Over the years, Arya appeared in movies like Jatts in Golmaal, Naughty Jat, Paapi Ek Satya Katha, however, all of them were huge flops. As a result, Arya was also not liked as an actor by the audience. However, it was just Prateik Babbar, the son of Raj Babbar and Smita Patil, who was able to establish himself as an actor. He appeared in small but important roles in films like Brahmastra, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Mulk, Baaghi-2, Dhobi Ghat, Chhichhore. His acting was appreciated, but he was mostly limited to supporting roles.
