Salman Khan shares terrifying flight turbulence experience for over 45 minutes, ‘Pilots Were Scared’

• Salman Khan made his podcast debut on Arhaan Khan's YouTube channel, Dumb Biryani.
• He shared a terrifying experience of turbulence on a flight for over 45 minutes.
• The turbulence started when the noise grew louder, and the entire flight became terrifying.

Salman Khan recently made his podcast debut on Arbaaz Khan’s son and nephew Arhaan Khan’s YouTube channel, Dumb Biryani. The light-hearted conversation turned insightful and candid, with the superstar sharing several unheard anecdotes. Recalling memories from the past, he described a terrifying experience when he endured turbulence on a flight for over 45 minutes.

During his appearance on Arhaan Khan’s podcast, Dumb Biryani, Salman Khan recalled a terrifying near-death experience while traveling with his brother, Sohail Khan. He shared that while returning from an award show, their flight encountered turbulence for over 45 minutes, not just for a few minutes.

The Sikandar actor stated that while the turbulence seemed normal at first, the noise grew louder, and the entire flight became terrifying. “Sohail and I were on the same flight, and when I looked at him, he was sleeping. The turbulence lasted for 45 minutes,” Khan recalled.

He continued, “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 were 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.”

Salman remembered that Sonakshi Sinha and her mother, Poonam Sinha, were also on the flight. He shared that when the turbulence started again moments later, everyone immediately stopped laughing. “From that moment until we landed, nobody said a word. But the moment we touched down, everyone suddenly became a stud. Their walk changed,” he shared with a lighthearted tone.

On the professional front, Salman will next star in AR Murugadoss' “Sikandar”, a highly anticipated film set to release on Eid 2025. The movie marks the superstar’s reunion with Sajid Nadiadwala after 10 years since “Kick”.

The hard-core actioner features Rashmika Mandanna, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj in key roles.

While speaking with us, Rashmika described her experience of working with Salman as "nerve-wracking!" She also pointed out that "Sikandar" would be her "first commercial Bollywood film," in contrast to her previous Hindi films like "Mission Majnu", which had performance-oriented screenplays.
