Salman Khan used to treat Aamir Khan like an 'assistant' on Andaz Apna Apna set!

Aamir Khan and Salman Khan’s camaraderie in their cult comedy Andaz Apna Apna remains a fan-favourite even today. Their rib-tickling performances alongside Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor are still cherished by cinephiles. Yet, despite the love the film continues to receive even after decades, the duo never shared the screen again. Fans have long known about the behind-the-scenes clash, and recently, Aamir opened up about the real reason he vowed never to work with Salman after the film.

Aamir ‘Didn’t Like Salman’

On Kajol and Twinkle Khanna's chat show Two Much, Aamir recalled his reservations about Salman. He admitted, “I didn’t like him a lot because I used to feel that yeh time par nahi ata (he wasn’t punctual); it was quite a problem. He used to come on set, and we would be very happy that he had at least shown up at 12 pm.”

Salman Treated Aamir Like an Assistant!

Adding further, Aamir revealed how frustrating the experience was for him during the shoot. He said, “First he used to come and sleep and then have lunch. Half the day was already gone by then, so I and Raj used to break down the scenes for him once he was up. Even then he used to sit there looking distracted, and he used to treat me like an assistant.”

"I was not interested in my work"

Salman, however, had his own explanation for what happened during that time. He shared, “When we were working on Andaz Apna Apna, Mr Aamir Khan used to land up on set at 7 am in the morning for a shift that started at 9 am. Because he had one film, and I had 15 films. I used to work 7 am to 2 pm, then 2 pm to 10 pm and then again 10 pm to 5 am. So by the time I used to come, I’d be exhausted, and then he used to do so many rehearsals. I used to tell people to only call me when he was finally ready. So at that point in time, he thought I was not interested in my work.”

From Clash to Understanding

Despite the tension, Aamir now looks back at those days with a mix of humour and maturity. He laughed and said, “I constantly used to think, ‘This is not right; that man is not right.’ I was also very hard on myself. Slowly I realised that we are all human beings, and we also had some great moments while filming together.”
