During the press interview, Salman revealed that there were no issues as his mom was a Hindu and his father a Muslim. The main issue was related to Salim's work. Salman noted that there were no objections from Salma's maternal side related to Salim's religion. In his words:

"It was never about the difference in the Hindu and Muslim culture and the practices. The bigger and more concerning thing at that time was, ‘Ye toh film line se hain (He is from the film industry).’”
