Salman shared a fun story and said, “Sohail and I were supposed to do this film called My Punjabi Nikah that’s still under production. So we were looking for a new boy. After a month Sohail said ‘I’ve seen a guy in the gym. He is the ideal casting for My Punjabi Nikah.’ I said that’s great, let’s sign him. But then that guy simply vanished and reappeared after three months.”
He added, “We met that guy (Aayush Sharma) at our home when Arpita brought him and said I want to marry him. We agreed, and then Sohail told me, remember I told you about that boy at the gym for that film? He’s the boy! I said ‘great, now our film will be made for free.’ So nepotism doesn’t suit him!”
Salman also said Arpita’s case was similar to his other sister Alvira’s marriage proposal. Alvira is married to actor Atul Agnihotri.
