Salman’s Bike Ride with a Teenager
Salman, who was once known for being late on sets, is now trying to change that image. His quick thinking and humble action show how serious he is about his work.
According to Hindustan Times, Recently while leaving his home in Bandra to go to the film set, Salman got stuck in Mumbai’s heavy traffic. Not wanting to be late, he did something surprising.
