Sohum Shahwho recently announced the sequel to ‘Tumbbad‘, recently talked about his life and struggles in the industry. The actor shared that Salman Khan was the reason he began wearing denim jeanseven though he credited Shah Rukh Khan as his inspiration and driving force for entering Bollywood.
During a conversation with Pinkvilla, Sohum Shah revealed that he started wearing denim pants because of Salman Khan.He said in Hindi, “Maine meri zindagi ki pehli denim pehni thi Salman Khan saab ji vajah se. Humare ghar me 2-3 jodi kapde mila karte they jo darji stitch karte hai. Denim nai cheez hua karti thi. (I wore the first denim of my life because of Salman Khan. At our home, we were given 2 to 3 pairs of clothes that were stitched by tailors. Denim was a new thing.)
The actor further added, “Gang hua karte they college me, Shah Rukh Khan gang and Salman Khan gang. I saw Salman Khan wearing light blue denim and dark blue denim shirt. So my brother went to Jaipur so I told him to buy denim jeans for me. So the first denim I wore looked like Salman Khan's face. (There would be Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan gangs in college. I once saw Salman wearing light blue denim pants with a dark blue denim shirt. So, I requested my brother, who was visiting Jaipur, to bring me denim pants. That's how I wore my first denim because of Salman Khan.)”
The actor-producer revealed that lacking access to Hollywood movies or literature, he received his education through movies. He revealed, “Humne toh joh seekha hai vo filmon se he seekha hai.” Shah went on to say that he lives by Aamir Khan‘s ideology, which is how he managed to persevere and finish Tumbbad in six arduous years. He follows the recipe for approaching any business with passion, and so far, this has paid off for him.
