The two were once very close, sharing regular parties and a strong bond during Salman’s early days in Mumbai. Shailendra described Salman metaphorically, saying, “Salman was a lion born in the jungle, now he’s a lion in a zoo. Success makes you cautious and fearful. People surround you and keep telling you that you’re always right.”
