Salman Khan addressed conversations around his 30-year age gap with Sikandar co-star, Rashmika Mandanna. Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, as usual, chose wit to deal with questions about their age gap. Salman, along with the film’s star cast and makers, were at the trailer launch of Sikandar in Mumbai on Sunday, March 23.
Salman Khan, 59, had a witty response when asked about his age gap with Rashmika Mandanna, 28. Addressing the media, the superstar said, “Phir vo bolte hain 31 years ka difference hai heroine aur mujh mein. Jab heroine ko problem nahi hain, heroine ke father ko problem nahi hain, tumko kya problem hain? Kal jab inki shaadi ho jayegi, bacche ho jaenge, toh unke sath bhi kaam karenge. Pati ka permission toh mil hi jayega na? (The heroine’s father has no problem. Tomorrow, when she gets married and has children, she will still continue working. She will get her husband’s permission, right?)"
