Actress Daisy Shah, who has shared screen space with Salman Khan in films such as Jai Ho and Race 3, recently spoke to Hauterrfly about the superstar’s protective code of conduct on his sets. According to her, Khan enforces a firm guideline for every woman present on his projects—whether crew members or co-stars—ensuring they are dressed conservatively. This principle, Daisy explained, is not merely a matter of personal preference but tied to the way Khan views respect and safety for women in a professional environment.
Not Just a Hero, but Protective Co-Star
When asked how Salman creates a secure working atmosphere for women, Daisy noted that he does not treat them as ornamental elements in his movies. Instead, he believes that women should not be reduced to objects of display. She recalled his outlook that modest attire enhances a woman’s elegance rather than diminishes it. This, she said, shaped the way he interacted with his female colleagues and managed the tone of his sets.
"For him, ladki ko jitna dhakoge, utni hi zyada sundar dikhegi (a woman will look more beautiful if you cover her up)” she stated.
A Personal Anecdote from Daisy Shah
Daisy’s very first film alongside Salman, Jai Ho, offered her a firsthand experience of his approach. She remembered a sequence where she was meant to appear in a short nightdress as part of a morning scene. Salman, however, found the outfit inappropriate and immediately instructed that she be covered with a blanket during filming. To him, the dress seemed unnecessarily revealing for the context, and his solution was to adjust the scene in a way that preserved Daisy’s comfort and dignity. For her, this incident reflected his caring nature and his insistence on ensuring his female co-actors were never portrayed in ways that made them uncomfortable.
Palak Tiwari Echoes the Same Experience
In 2023, actress Palak Tiwari also confirmed this side of Salman Khan in a conversation with Sidharth Kannan. She revealed that while working as an assistant director on Antim, she observed his consistent rules about female attire. Palak explained that Salman expected women on his sets to dress modestly, with covered necklines, reinforcing his belief that they should always appear “proper.” She clarified that while Salman allows personal choice outside of work, he insists on stricter codes in professional settings where not everyone present may be personally known to him. For Khan, this boundary is about safety and trust, ensuring women under his watch are not vulnerable in unfamiliar company.
Salman Khan’s Recent Work
On the professional front, Khan was last seen in the action drama Sikander, directed by A.R. Murugadoss and featuring Rashmika Mandanna. Despite its massive budget of ₹200 crore, the film closed its run at ₹175 crore, making it a box-office disappointment. The actor will next appear in Battle of Galwan, a project already drawing attention ahead of its release.
