He continued, “Salman Khan aaya 3 baje dopahar mein apni motorbike pe, koi kuch kaam nahi kar raha, 4:30 baj raha hai, producer khada hai bol raha hai, ‘Sir, ek shot lelo’ (Salman Khan would arrive on set at 3 in the afternoon on his motorbike, nobody would do any work. At 4:30, the producer would request him with folded hands to do just one shot). I loved it. It looked like a relaxed life.”

This is not the first time that one of Salman’s co-stars has spoken about his tardiness. Incidentally, Partner also featured Govinda, whose own habitual tardiness has been well-documented over the years. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama last year, actor Kubbra Sait recalled that on the film Bodyguard, she waited for several hours on set having not eaten enough when Salman showed up in the afternoon and immediately called for lunch. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, actor Grusha Kapoor recalled losing her patience when Salman showed up to set 10 hours late.
