Salman Khan, the Bollywood superstar, recently recalled a story of riding a bike to his farm when he thought his father was furious with him. Salman visited the Indian Supercross Racing League (ISRL) event on Wednesday and recalled riding his bike from his house in Bandra, Mumbai, to their farm, where his father, famed novelist Salim Khan, had gone for work.
Salman shared, “I thought my father was upset with me one day, and he went to the farm. This is a long time ago. And at that time, I had a high fever. So I said, ‘I have to go to the farm and apologise to him’. So I rode there. Now, while I was riding, I was not wearing a helmet. And my cap was upside down. And my cap flew. And I said, ‘This is not the way to ride at all. ’ And then I rode very slowly at 35, 40 kilometres an hour. And I reached the farm. I took a left turn, and the bike skidded. And it went into the jungle. I tried to pick up the bike. I couldn't pick up the bike. Then my car came from behind. We all picked up the bike. Got the bike on the road again and started riding again. Took a right turn and the bike skidded again”.
Salman further revealed that his bike skidded twice due to the gravel on his way, “I went ahead. I went to see my father. He said, What are you doing here? I said, ‘No, I just thought that you were upset with me. ’ He said, ‘No, no, I was coming to the farm. ’ I said, okay. You came here. He said, What happened? I said, ‘Nothing’.
