I Have Mother… And That Too Two

New Delhi:

The mood at the trailer launch event of Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar’s documentary series, Angry Young Men, was set by Salman Khan in a remarkable manner. The renowned scriptwriters were accompanied by their children Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar on the stage. Recollecting the favorite dialogue of the duo, Salman Khan added his humorous twist by stating, “I possess mothers,” and further mentioned, “And that too in pairs.” Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar couldn’t resist smiling, and the audience erupted in laughter. Salman Khan is the eldest offspring of Salim Khan and Salma Khan. Subsequently, Salim Khan tied the knot with Helen.

During the occasion, Javed Akhtar praised Salman Khan and shared childhood anecdotes. Reflecting on the first visit to Salim Khan’s residence in Bandra, Javed Akhtar reminisced, “When I first visited Salim sir’s home, Salman was not even a year old. He appears so attractive now, but this isn’t a recent development. He was a beautiful child since childhood. There used to be a monochromatic portrait of Salman in Salim sir’s living area. It was a small frame. I’m unsure if it still exists. The other children were born in my presence.”

Javed Akhtar then mentioned that Salman was a reserved child. “What’s intriguing is that today Salman is the ‘He Man’, the ‘dashing hero,’ but back then, he was a quiet boy, very less talkative, a very introverted child. He would silently occupy a corner.” He then gestured towards Arbaaz, seated in the audience, and remarked, “Arbaaz was the mischievous child.

Angry Young Men has been produced by Salman Khan Films, Excel Media and Entertainment, and Tiger Baby, in collaboration with Salman Khan, Salma Khan, Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, and Reema Kagti. The documentary series is scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video starting from August 20.
