“Post my father’s demise, he sent me a message and said, ‘I have put out a tweet for you. Read it and I hope it makes sense to you.’ He later called and spoke to me for 20 minutes. I told him I’ll respond to him on social media because I knew the context. It’s a beautiful bond that I share with him and his family. He has really looked out for me. I really appreciate and respect his presence in my life.”

Angad and Salman shared the screen in 2017 film Tiger Zinda Hai, in which Angad played the role of Captain Nimit Khanna, while Salman played the titular character. Salman’s tweet had a dialogue from their film. The younger actor reveals how the dialogue came to be.

“It was special because it was made on the spot. During Tiger Zinda Hai, he had said that there has to be a scene between Angad and me. Namit, my character in the film, and Tiger share a special bond. Ali (Abbas Zafar, director) asked him, ‘What do you want to say?’ He said, ‘Ek moment hona chahiye.’ He thought about it and came up with ‘Upar wala sar dekh ke Sardari deta hai’,” said Angad.

Bishan Singh Bedi passed away on October 23 due to prolonged illness.
