What Salmán said

Salman took his X on Wednesday and wrote, “Just watched Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies. Wah wah (wow) Kiran. I really enjoyed it and so did my father. Congratulations on your directorial debut, magnificent work. Kab kaam karogi mere saath (When will you work with me)?”

While many X users applauded Salman for supporting a small film like Laapataa Ladies, some were quick to correct him saying that it is not Kiran’s directorial debut. Salman is a good friend of Aamir Khan, Kiran’s ex-husband and her co-producer in Laapataa Ladies. Aamir and Salman shared screen space in Rajkumar Santoshi’s 1994 buddy comedy Andaz Apna Apna.
