Drawing from Personal Experiences
Salman shared his own youthful mistakes, recalling how he once sat casually in police stations, unaware of how it might appear disrespectful. He said, “When I see those old clips now, I feel embarrassed.” He explained that while people might misinterpret his walking style as arrogance, it is far from the truth. Using this as an example, he urged Rajat to adapt and leave behind his past habits if he wishes to succeed in the entertainment industry.
Unity Beyond Religion
Salman also touched on the importance of relationships and respecting differences, especially when religion or background comes into play. Highlighting his own diverse family, he said, “My mother is Hindu, my father is Muslim, and my second mother is Catholic. What caste do I belong to?” He encouraged the contestants to embrace their shared identity as Indians and not let religion affect their friendships.
Letting Go of Past Ego
Addressing Rajat’s casual attitude and rude behavior towards housemates, Salman reminded him that real success lies in earning respect. He advised him to apologize for past mistakes and focus on building positive relationships, saying, “We’ve all let go of our past lives at 17-18 and started fresh. If you want to be a hero, leave behind the old ways.”
This mentorship by Salman Khan served as a valuable lesson for Rajat and others in the house, highlighting that humility, respect, and self-improvement are key to personal and professional success.
