Salman Khan Recounts Near-Death Experience In The Sky: 'Even The Pilots Looked Tense'

Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan recently made his podcast debut on his nephew, Arhaan Khan’s podcast, Dumb Biryani. Amid the numerous revelations that he made in the conversation with Arhaan and his friends, the Dabangg actor reminisced about a flight journey which was so frightening that even the cabin crew had started praying for their safe landing. 

Salman Khan recalls harrowing flight ordeal

Salman Khan recounted a traumatic flight experience while returning from IIFA Sri Lanka. The superstar was accompanied by Sonakshi Sinha and his brother, Sohail Khan, where they faced relentless turbulence for nearly an hour. Salman revealed that the turbulence started unexpectedly, turning what seemed like a routine flight into a nightmare. While passengers held their breath in fear, Sohail, shockingly, remained fast asleep through the chaos. Salman recalled:

“We were coming back from IIFA Sri Lanka. Everyone was laughing, and suddenly, there was turbulence. At first, it seemed normal, but then the noise grew louder, and the entire flight went silent. Sohail and I were on the same flight, and when I looked at him, he was sleeping. The turbulence continued for 45 minutes.”

The situation took an even more dramatic turn when the actor noticed visible panic among the crew members. Salman shared how the cabin crew in flight usually maintain a chill composure even during long turbulences. However, this time, it was different; the flight attendants and even the pilots were visibly tensed at the horrifying turbulence that went on for 45 minutes. He shared:

“I looked at the air hostess, and she was praying. That’s when I thought, Arey baap re! Even the pilots looked tensed, they usually are very chilled. Then, the oxygen masks dropped, and I was thinking, ‘I’ve only seen this happen in films!’ After 45 minutes, things settled, and everyone went back to normal, even laughing again. Sonakshi and her mother were also there. But suddenly, the turbulence started again, this time for another 10 minutes, and everyone immediately stopped laughing.”

Salman added that everyone present on the flight was too scared and stunned to speak a word. After the second turbulence, no one was laughing anymore. From then to the time they finally landed, the flight was in stunned silence. Adding his signature humour to this horrifying ordeal, the actor remarked how everyone’s attitude changed at the end of the flight, walking like a stud as they came out of the airport. In Salman’s words:

“From that moment until we landed, nobody said a word. But the moment we touched down, everyone suddenly became a stud. Their walk changed.”

Salman Khan talks about life lessons, time in jail, and more with Arhaan and his friends

Further into Arhaan Khan’s podcast, Salman candidly discussed his numerous experiences throughout the years. He was heard discussing his life in jail during his prison sentence for the Blackbuck case, and his current sleep habits, revealing how he barely sleeps for a couple of hours. Salman also shared advice with Arhaan and friends Dev Raiyani and Arush Sharma, making the podcast an insightful and personal conversation.

On the work front, Salman Khan is currently busy shooting for his much-anticipated action drama, Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. The film features an ensemble cast, including Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar.
