Salim Khan for marrying Salma
He reminded me of taking ‘Sat Ferrus’ before the marriage ceremony. He said, “You see, I have lived my whole life among Hindus. Even in police stations and colonies, we celebrated Hindu festivals, because everyone from soldiers to head constables was a Hindu. So it was not as if we started keeping Ganpati at home only after our marriage. My family had no objection to my marriage.”
“My father -in -law, a dentist, was from the Dogra community. He had examined my background when I came about my marriage and respected the fact that I came from a good family and was well educated. He clearly told me that he was his only objection. Even though we were due to disagreement or quarrel, my wife had notes them!
