MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Dia Mirza has revealed that Salman Khan made a surprising prediction more than two decades ago that left her alarmed at the time.
Speaking on filmmaker Farah Khan’s show, Mirza recalled an incident from the set of the 2002 film Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge, where she starred alongside Salman Khan.
During the conversation, Farah Khan suggested that Mirza should work with Salman again. Mirza jokingly replied that the actor now prefers to work with younger actresses. Farah countered by noting that Salman is also working with actress Chitrangda Singh.
Mirza then shared that during the filming of Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge, Salman told her, “One day, you will play my mother on screen.” She said she was only 19 years old at the time and was shocked by the remark.
“I was terrified when he said that,” Mirza recalled with a laugh.
She said the conversation took place while she, Salman Khan and actor Rajpal Yadav were waiting to shoot a scene. The actress playing Salman’s mother in the film had recently given birth and was not much older than the actor, prompting Mirza to comment on the age difference.
According to Mirza, Salman responded by telling her not to worry because the same thing would happen to her one day.
