Voh jo Salman Brooklyn Bridge pe roya hai na, voh actually roya hai. I don’t know what was going on in his life at that time, but it was the first time I saw Salman internalise his pain,” she said.She further recalled the moment from the shoot, adding that it was completely real and not staged.“Voh jo khada hoke roya… there was no glycerine, nothing. He just broke down crying there and it was magic. After the movie didn’t do well, I also broke down crying,” Farah added.
‘He doesn’t hide from controversies’
Farah also spoke about how Salman deals with controversies and public scrutiny. According to her, the actor doesn’t run away from criticism but instead blocks out the noise and continues focusing on his work. She added that throughout his long career, Salman has rarely taken holidays or even Sundays off. Addressing the common perception that he often arrives late on sets, Farah said the actor would usually stay back until the work was finished.
