Salim Khan Says His Family Does Not Eat Beef; Kunal Kohli Recalls Working With Shahid, Priyanka Chopra
In a recent conversation with Free Press Journal, Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan recalled the story of how his interfaith marriage to Salma Khan (born Sushila Charak) came to be and also revealed why beef was never part of his household. Salim Khan explained that despite being Muslim, his family never consumed beef. “From Indore until today, we have never had beef. Beef is eaten by most Muslims as it is the cheapest meat! Some even buy it to feed pet dogs. But in the teachings of prophet Mohammed, he has clearly stated that a cow’s milk is a substitute for mother’s milk and it is a mufid (beneficial) cheez. He has stated that cows should not be killed and beef is forbidden.”
When Kunal Kohli directed Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in Teri Meri Kahaani back in 2012, the two were rumoured to be dating. Looking back, Kohli admitted that handling real-life couples while filming isn’t as exciting as people imagine. Speaking to Faridoon Shahryar, Kunal Kohli admitted that it can be tricky when personal equations spill into a film set. “It’s actually not fun because there are days when they are not talking. Then, the director has to take care of the situation, but not if that person is Priyanka Chopra. She is the best person to work with, thorough professional, best for production and director, lovely person,” he said.
