Former Miss Universe, Sushmita Sen is good friends with Salman Khan. In a recent interview, she revealed why she once thought that 'bhai' was very 'progressive'.
Sushmita Sen is a name in the Indian industry which is synonymous with beauty with brains. The 48-year-old has time and again proven that she is not only a talented actress but also a good human being. She rose to prominence after winning the Miss Universe pageant in 1994. Sushmita then stepped into Bollywood with the 1996 thriller, Dastak, and went on to cement her name in the industry with several other blockbusters. In the course of her professional life, Sushmita was seen in a number of films with Salman Khan.
Recently, in an interview, Sushmita shared a fond anecdote, that made her think that Salman was very progressive. During an interaction with Mashable India, the former Miss Universe recalled an incident from the sets of David Dhawan’s directed movie, Biwi No 1. She said that Salman questioned her why she was not wearing heels. Sushmita replied that it was due to Salman’s height, as he is shorter than her, that she was not wearing heels. Sushmita said:
“When David would say on the sets of Biwi No 1 that ‘Sush, don’t wear heels’, I would come in flats like okay, no problem. And Salman would say ‘That’s a nice outfit but why are you wearing those chappals?’ I would say ‘Because you are short, I can’t wear heels’ so he burst out laughing and say ‘Go and wear heels. I’ll manage my height, you manage yours.’ So, I thought that was very progressive. It is something about Salman I have always enjoyed and loved.”

In the same conversation, the former Miss Universe recalled one hilarious incident from the time when she was shooting with Salman. She revealed that the actor would often crack jokes in the middle of scenes, and the co-stars would go ROFL. She said:
“Salman is famous for a lot of things, and he is very famous for throwing the co-actor off by cracking a joke in the middle of a scene. And then you are just laughing because you forgot what you are supposed to do.”
The former Miss Universe, Sushmita Sen and the Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan have worked together in various movies, including Maine Pyaar Kyun Kia, Tumko Naa Bhool Payenge and Biwi No 1. While filming for Biwi No 1, Sushmita played the role of Salman's girlfriend, and her dialogue "haye mera bachcha" became quite popular among her fans. In an earlier interview with The Indian Express, Sushmita shared:
“It’s funny… haye mera bachcha is not from the film. Mujhe laga cut hogaya hai scene and I just held Salman and pulled him to say ‘haye mera bachcha’. And the camera was still rolling and David kept it. So it’s actually my own lingo.”
