Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Salman Khan graced Koffee With Karan Season 9 for the premiere episode. Welcoming the superstar filmmaker Karan Johar delighted fans and brought the actor back to the couch after almost a decade. Let’s take a look at the secrets Bigg Boss 20 host revealed during the candid conversation.

Salman Khan’s Fallout With Shah Rukh Khan

During the conversation, coming with his iconic wit and camaraderie, Salman also recalled his feud with Shah Rukh Khan. Karan Johar admitted that Salman had always made him nervous. He shared, “No one gets me more stressed, nervous, and hyper than you. I don’t know why; it hasn’t changed.”

Salman playfully asked if Karan’s anxiety stemmed from him or from his deep friendship with Shah Rukh Khan. Reassuring the host that peace has prevailed for a long time, Salman joked, “At one point, things were not good. So I could understand you being scared of me—not because of you, but because of Shah Rukh.”

Still A Virgin Remark

Addressing his “Still A Virgin” remark from season 4 of the talk show in 2013, the actor said he made the statement to stop Karan from grilling him more about his dating life. Salman said, “That was a way of saying Karan, that I don’t want to talk about it. Because you keep on saying that you are dating so and so…”

Salman also added that what you say in the living room can be shared with the world, but whatever happens in the bedroom should not come out.

When Karan recalled Salman’s iconic shirtless moments and asked how he stays fit after showcasing his recent shirtless moment on Bigg Boss 20, Salman shared that he had many injuries that affected his appearance post-Sultan.
