Mukesh Rishi says Salman Khan is just misunderstood says 'He's incredibly friendly, we drank together'; recalls working with Amitabh Bachchan
Mukesh Rishi is known for many movies like 'Sarfarosh', 'Sooryavansham', 'Gunda' among others. The actor who has worked with all the top stars in the industry has recently opened up on his experience of working with these actors - from Amitabh Bachchan , Salman Khan and Aamir Khan . Rishi hasshared screen space with Salman in many movies and shared a great bonding with him. He recalled how Salman was so friendly, as opposed to the kind of things people say about him and his mood swings. He said that Salman is misunderstood.
Opening up on it, in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Mukesh said, "Salman was someone I did two or three films with. He’s incredibly friendly and always took the initiative to create a fun atmosphere in the evenings. After pack-up, plans would be made to go out, maybe to a restaurant or a pub. That’s the kind of bond we shared. Sometimes we’d even exercise together. There was a real sense of camaraderie."
He added, "I never experienced any mood swings from him. We never had a moment that felt off. Over time, of course, life changes, and distance grows as people stop meeting, stop attending parties, and stop working together. But I never saw that side of him. In fact, people often misunderstand."
When asked if he's every partied with Salman, Rishi said, "Yes, we did drink together."
Meanwhile, Rishi has also shared screen space with Bachchan. Talking about him, he said, "I’ve done three to four films with Amit ji. There was always a respectful working relationship. He wasn’t the kind to engage in lengthy conversations, but the rapport was always there. Love and respect can’t be forced, they come from the heart."
When asked about his experience with Akshay Kumar , he added, "The conversations were limited to what happened on set." However, his revelation about Aamir Khan was quite the opposite of the usual perception about the star. Many think that perhaps Aamir would be in his shell or serious while working on a film, but Rishi said, "Wherever four people are sitting, his chair will find its way there," he laughed.
