‘Tere Naam’ Look Inspired by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
During a light-hearted conversation with Kapil Sharma, Salman Khan opened up about the origin of his unforgettable hairstyle from the film Tere Naam. To everyone’s surprise, Salman revealed that the look was inspired by none other than former President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
He shared,
“Ye jo Tere Naam ka jo look hai, woh actually inspired tha Abdul Kalam saab se aur uss dauran I think Rahul Roy ka bhi same hairstyle tha. I thought ki jo small town hero hota hai na, unke humesha lambe baal hotey hai.
The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, toh waha se ye aaya tha.”
(Translation: “The look from Tere Naam was actually inspired by Abdul Kalam sir, and back then, I think Rahul Roy also had the same hairstyle. I thought that small-town heroes always had long hair. The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, so that’s where it came from.”)
Salman Teases Aamir Khan’s Love Life
Adding to the entertainment, Salman also responded humorously to a comment by Kapil about Aamir Khan’s newly revealed relationship with Gauri Spratt. In the show’s teaser, Kapil jokes,
“Aamir Bhai just introduced his fans to his girlfriend. He’s not stopping, but you aren’t even starting!”
To which Salman cheekily replied,
“Aamir is something else. He’s a perfectionist—he won’t settle down until he perfects marriage itself!”
