Bandra restaurant ‘Bhaijaanz’ celebrates Salman Khan’s acquittal with pay-what-you-want offer

Bhaijaanz, a restaurant on Bandra's Carter Road in Mumbai, dedicated to the bhaijaan of Bollywood, Salman Khan, celebrated the Bombay High Court’s judgement pronouncing the actor of being ‘not guilty’ in the 2002 hit-and-run case. The restaurant had a one-of-a-kind offer where customers can pay just as much as they want for a meal, even if it's a fraction of the bill.

Govind, manager of the restaurant and a big Salman fan, said, "This offer is valid only for today. We came up with the concept because ‘giving’ is a true bhaijaan-like act. Since he was acquitted, we are having this deal in his honour."

However, when iamin visited the restaurant at 5 pm, it was not buzzing with patrons, as expected. On approaching Anushka Sehgal and Upamanyu Bhattacharya were already dining at the restaurant, Anushka said, "We had planned to come here yesterday itself and had no clue that we would get such an offer.”

The décor of the eatery, which was opened in April this year, revolves around everything pertaining to the actor and his films. There is also a miniature of the balcony of his house, from where he is often spotted waving out to his fans. Even the menu is named after some of the hit films he has delivered.
