Here’s how Salman Khan reacted when Pooja Hegde addressed him as ‘Bhai’: ‘He told me to…’

“In the beginning when I had just met him, I called him bhai. That’s because everyone calls him that. But it’s a very natural tendency to call him bhai as the whole world calls him so. In the film, everyone calls him bhaijaan. So, we played on that in a comic way. My character doesn’t want to call him bhai and she keeps making these mistakes. People have liked that and they’re finding it funny,” Pooja told the publication.

When asked how does she address him now, Pooja lightly said that they have now settled at ‘SK’ (the actor’s initials). “Now, I call him SK because he has asked me to. He told me that I can call him Salman too but I can’t! At one point, I called him Salman sir but he started calling me ma’am. I told him not to do that. Now, we’ve settled at SK,” Hegde concluded.

Pooja Hegde will be seen romancing Salman Khan for the first time in the eagerly anticipated Farhad Samji directorial Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. The film also features Venkatesh Daggubati, Siddharth Nigam, Palak Tiwari, Raghav Juyal and Shehnaaz Gill in pivotal roles.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan releases this Eid, on April 21.
