‘Salman Khan brings kitchen van to set, it’s 7-star food, feeds everyone’: Choreographer

Salman Khan brings a kitchen van to set

She was then asked to elaborate on the food on Salman’s set, which, she said, is extraordinary as he makes sure that everyone is fed properly. On many film sets, there is a hierarchy when it comes to food as daily wagers like lightmen and spot boys are fed different kind of food, and the food is served to actors and other heads of department is seemingly better.

Shabina recalled working with Salman on Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and said that since Rajshri Productions does not serve non-vegetarian food, Salman would take it upon himself to feed anyone who wished to eat non-vegetarian. “Non-veg food is not allowed on the Rajshri set. Everyone knows that. So Salman would really think about those people. Salman would have his own bungalow on the set, and he would call everyone there to eat,” she shared and added, “You know you are going to get 7-star food. He would feed the assistants, dancers, junior artistes, everyone.”

She shared that now, Salman even brings a kitchen van to the set which has a fixed menu, but if anyone wishes to eat anything else, they cook it then and there. “Now, he brings a Being Human van on the set. It’s a complete kitchen. There’s a full menu there, but if you want to eat anything outside of the menu, that will be cooked for you,” she said.

Kubbra Sait had a similar experience with Salman Khan

In an earlier chat with Bollywood Hungama, Kubbra Sait recalled her experience of working with Salman in the film Ready. She recalled that she had just had two apples for breakfast and had been waiting on set all morning along with the rest of the crew. When Salman arrived hours later, he asked everyone to have lunch and Kubbra joined in. “The beauty of working with Salman Khan is that you actually have one big table set up and he says ‘aapne khaya, tumne khaya? (Did you eat?)’ And this is why eating a meal with company is so important to me, because you cannot hold grudges. Phir set laga, humne shoot kiya (Then the set was ready to shoot).”
