Salim Khan, Salman Khans father, in a file photograph. He wants his son to learn from his mistakes and stop being a foolDear son, When you get this letter you will wonder about the need of writing a letter especially since we both stay in the same house. But sometimes we cannot express ourselves sitting face-to-face hence the need of writing this letter.
For me, you three brothers are the same. I have tried my best to give you all the happiness in the world. You three brothers are the ideal sons a father could ever ask for.
Everybody in the house says that among the three brothers you are the dearest to me. I have also heard people saying that I have played a big part in spoiling you. I am prepared to take that in my stride.
Today, I have crossed 75 years. At this age one hopes to be a grandfather. Arbaaz and Sohail have granted me this happiness.
However, I eagerly look forward to cradle your child in my arms. I want to grant you the freedom you deserve. Since I have aged, I think its time you settled down.
You know that I would have no objection whatsoever towards your choice for a life partner.
You know son, you have a weakness, which is that you are too gullible. Everybody around you, is using you. Your niceness works to your disadvantage. You have a million girls after you; it does not matter if one out of those millions has abandoned you. More so, you cannot lose control over your life for that one girl.
Son, Im always with you. But you have to understand and learn to conduct your life in a better way. This is the right time to take charge of your life all over again. People make mistakes and one has to learn from those mistakes and move ahead in life.
I dont want people to call you a fool who hasnt learnt from his mistakes. You dont have to be known as a bad human being. You have to be known as the man who earned the respect of millions.
I have a lot of expectations from you son.
Your father, Salim Khan
