Salman Khan briefly opened up about his time in prison during his conversation on Dumb Biryani. Reflecting on his journey, the Dabangg star shared insights into his personal and professional experiences, making it one of the most talked-about moments from the podcast.

Salman Khan, while discussing the importance of hard work and discipline, stressed that making excuses—like needing more sleep—only hinders success. He emphasized the value of persistence and dedication in achieving one’s goals.

He said, “‘I am tired.’ No, get up. No matter how tired you are. ‘I don’t get sleep.’ Don’t sleep. Do something; you’ll automatically go to sleep. So I don’t understand these things… I sleep for an hour and a half or two hours, and then someday, once a month, I sleep for seven hours.”

Salman added, “Somedays, I’ll get a five-minute break between shots, so I’ll sleep on the chair. In places where I cannot do anything, like when I was in jail, I slept. I couldn’t do anything about it… When it comes to your work or family, the effort that you have to keep on putting in… you just need to be there for friends and family and work.”

Salman Khan’s imprisonment was linked to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. In April 2006, he was sentenced to five years in prison and remanded to Jodhpur jail but was released on bail a few days later. In 2018, a Jodhpur court sentenced him again in a related case, and he spent a few days in prison before securing bail once more.

Salman Khan will next be seen in AR Murugadoss’ Sikandar, co-starring Rashmika Mandanna. The film is set to release on Eid this year.

Last year, Salman Khan shared a glimpse from the sets of Sikandar. Apart from Sikandar, he will also be seen in Kick 2 in the coming months.
