Suniel Shetty On Salman Khan, Jackie Shroff: ‘They'd Do My Film Without Asking Why'
Last Updated: Suniel Shetty says Jackie Shroff and Salman Khan are still just a call away, not out of obligation, but their deep-rooted brotherhood. Suniel Shetty has always been admired for his humility and loyalty, and in a recent interview with Pinkvilla, he opened up about his decades-long bond with Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff. These iconic Bollywood friendships, rooted in trust and mutual respect, have stood the test of time. Recalling the early days, Suniel said, 'They were already stars. Just them walking into my shop was a big deal. It was huge publicity for me, but that's not why they came. Jackie Shroff is my hero, and Salman Khan is my friend. It's their humility that they talk about these things in public. That just shows the bond we share." Suniel stressed that their relationships were never transactional. 'Even today, Jackie is just a phone call away. Same with Salman. If I call and ask him to be in a film, he won't even ask why. Not because I helped them back then, but because that's the kind of respect and brotherhood we have always had." Their heartwarming history was revisited during a Kaun Banega Crorepati special episode in 2021, where both Suniel and Jackie appeared together. Suniel fondly reminisced, 'We've been friends for 45 years. We first met at places like Pastry Palace, Wonderworld, and Scandal Point—hangout spots for jobless guys like us. Jackie says I always kept clothes ready for him, but he always paid. Still, he would sit outside my shop just to make it look popular. That's the kind of friend he is." Jackie also recalled a deeply emotional moment. 'My father had a severe reaction to penicillin… Suniel offered his own house without a second thought. I stayed there with my father for 10–15 days." Salman Khan once shared a touching memory at IIFA 2022: 'I didn't have enough money to shop. I went to Suniel's store and had my eyes on a stone-wash shirt and a wallet. He saw me struggling and just gifted both to me. That stayed with me forever." First Published: July 25, 2025, 23:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
