Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made his much-anticipated podcast debut on his nephew Arhaan Khan’s YouTube channel, Dumb Biryani. In a candid conversation with Arhaan and his friends, Dev Raiyani and Arush Sharma, Salman shared deep insights on friendship, loyalty, and personal growth. However, what caught netizens’ attention was his criticism of Arhaan’s discomfort in speaking Hindi, sparking widespread discussions on social media.
Salman on Friendship and Loyalty
During the podcast, Salman reflected on the importance of surrounding oneself with genuine friends. He emphasized how true friendships transcend time and distance and should be free of expectations and selfishness.
Sharing a personal anecdote, the actor recalled his early struggling days when a friend lent him ₹15,000 while they were shopping in Manali. “Back then, that was a huge amount. I liked something but didn’t have the money, so he gave it to me. We have been friends ever since,” he shared.
Salman also spoke about the necessity of letting go of people who repeatedly break trust. “We should not hold grudges but also recognize when to step away from toxic relationships,” he advised.
Arhaan’s Hindi Draws Salman’s Criticism
While the conversation largely revolved around life lessons, a particular moment stood out when Salman called out Arhaan’s struggle with speaking Hindi comfortably. Reports suggest that Salman was visibly frustrated when Arhaan seemed hesitant or awkward in expressing himself in Hindi. The clip has since gone viral, sparking debates online about language proficiency among star kids and the growing influence of Western culture in Bollywood families.
Podcast Gains Momentum on Social Media
The Dumb Biryani podcast episode has since created waves on social media, with fans discussing Salman’s unfiltered take on relationships and friendships. However, his criticism of Arhaan’s Hindi skills has also divided opinions, with some supporting Salman’s views while others defending Arhaan’s preference for English.
Despite the mixed reactions, Salman Khan’s podcast debut has proven to be a major success, giving fans a rare glimpse into his personal philosophies and candid thoughts on life and relationships.
