Bollywood stars have always captivated public interest, and when it comes to the Khan family, the intrigue amplifies. The public is often eager to learn more about Salman Khan and his family’s intriguing stories. Among these, one delightful tale shared by Salim Khan and his wife, Salma, has caught the limelight during an appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show.
Love Story and Unique Dowry
It is well known that Salim Khan entered into a love marriage with Salma in 1964 when Suhila Charak became his bride. What is less known, however, is the unconventional nature of Salma’s dowry. Instead of the expected money or material goods, Salma brought along a unique individual named Gangaram to their new home.
The Entertaining Gangaram
During the show, Salim Khan revealed that his wife brought Gangaram as part of her dowry, and he still resides with them in their Galaxy Apartment. The entire Khan family refers to him affectionately as “Mama.” Salim emphasized that Gangaram holds a special status within the family that commands respect; no one dares to scold him.
Salim Khan’s Unusual Detour
In a humorous segment, Salim recounted an incident when he scolded Gangaram. Salma was so upset by this that she didn’t speak to Salim for six months, leading him to avoid reprimanding Gangaram since then. Salim humorously portrayed Gangaram’s authority at home, whereby nobody is allowed to speak ill of him.
A Family Member at Heart
When Kapil Sharma inquired about Gangaram’s origins, Salim humorously noted he wasn’t quite sure, but it’s obvious that Gangaram has become an integral part of their lives over the years. He contributes to household chores and has established himself as a beloved member of the family.
Gangaram’s Charm and Quirks
Gangaram’s presence is not just limited to the background; he actively participates in family functions. During one memorable show appearance, Salim along with his three sons—Salman, Arbaaz, and Sohail—introduced Gangaram to a cheering audience. His cheerful demeanor and lack of pretense make him a favorite among family and fans alike.
A Bold Personality
Sohail shared an amusing incident about Gangaram answering the phone. When Sohail inquired about Salim’s whereabouts, Gangaram nonchalantly replied, “Who’s Daddy?” followed by a comedic “Your dad is sleeping.” His candid and carefree style of conversation often surprises everyone, and he doesn’t hesitate to speak his mind.
Sleeping Habits of Gangaram
Interestingly, one of the quirkiest traits about Gangaram is his ability to fall asleep anywhere. Salim humorously mentioned Gangaram can doze off even while standing, needing just a small support, like leaning against a wall, to find comfort. This amusing trait has provided a lot of laughter and joy to the Khan household.
Salim and Salma’s Endearing Relationship
Reflecting on Salim and Salma’s relationship, one can see that they shared a deep bond that has stood the test of time. After a long courtship, they tied the knot, with Salma embracing Salim’s faith and changing her name from Suhila to Salma. Salim often expresses how supportive Salma has been throughout their journey, weathering the ups and downs of life together.
