Talking about Salman Khan’s previous jail terms
Salman had told Koel Puri in an interview in 2008 that he was
“chilling” and “the only tension was bathroom”. When Koel asked, “What was your
time in jail like?” Salman replied -- apparently with sarcasm, “A lot of fun.”
He then went ahead and laughed loudly when she said, “Really?” She accepted
that this kind of question would lead to such a response.
“I was blank. I was chilling.
The only tension was the bathroom. That was it. [pause] And, the bin, and
three, four times I have gone in and out of it. If someone wants to put you in,
you go in quietly. When you know you haven’t done it, you go in head high,” he
said in the 2008 episode of On the Couch with Koel.
“The police custody here,
yeah.. There were like nine or 10 rooms, and each room had 9-10 people in one
room. One bathroom. One toilet. So that was...[rolls his eyes] Then the rest of
the space, the Central Jail. When you go to the judicial custody, you get your
own suite there [smiles].”
Salman further elaborated on
the people he got to see and meet in the prison: “Once a week. Then you get one
qaidi who’ll give you chai in the morning. The same guy will come and get you
the lunch. There’s one guard outside. You get this one mug, that you have your
chai in and wash it. Then you have daal-chawal in
it. You use it to take a shower. You use it to do whatever you wanna do.”
“I used to do a lot of
push-ups and crunches. And used to work out thrice a day,” he added in answer
to how he spent his time in the jail.
