Salman’s wedding bells have not rung: Salim Khan

Salman Khan’s father, the acclaimed writer Salim Khan, has bought the distribution rights of a small budget film titled Kissan which is being co-produced by his other son Sohail and is extremely gung-ho about the project.

However, when probed whether Salman and Katrina Kaif, who have been quite an item for a long time now, were knocking on the doors of marriage, Salim said he does not know whether his son’s eyes have seen Kat as his ideal wife.

“Why should Salman’s family accept Katrina as the daughter-in-law; it is Salman who should accept her first as his wife. Our family will not marry Katrina. It is he who has to take a decision,” says Salim.

When probed if Salman has communicated to him and the family that he wants to do a nikaah with the sexy actress, he roared, “I don’t know, you should ask him (Salman). Many girls have come into Salman’s life. I don’t want to name them as they are married in good families now, but my relationship with all of them has been only ‘Hi uncle, Hello uncle’ and maybe to the extent of ‘Did you have food?’. I didn’t go any further with any of them and that includes Katrina too.”

Salim adds, “Salman’s wedding bells have not rung yet. When he is ready and he tells us, we will welcome the news. But he has to prepare himself mentally first as it is he who has to spend the rest of his life with that special woman.” 

Returning to Kissan, Salim says the topic of farmers’ suicide touched him to take up the project. “I have taken up distribution for the movie simply because it is a good film. It’s a small film with a touching story. It needs pumping up as there are no stars. Sohail and Arbaaz have made names for themselves but they are not stars.”
