I don’t know if he still has it, the other children were born before me.”
Javed Akhtar then added that Salman used to be a quiet kid. “Interestingly, Salman is now a ‘He Man’, a ‘brisk hero’, but he was this shy boy, bohot hi kam bolne wala, bohot hi chupp chaap rehne wala bacchha tha (reserved and soft-spoken kid). He would sit quietly in a corner .” He then pointed to Arbaaz sitting in the audience and said, “Arbaaz was badmaash bacchha (notorious).
