Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are two of Bollywood’s most renowned A-list actors. They are popularly known for their decades-long acting careers, immense box-office appeal, and versatility. Both stars began their careers in the late 1980s and quickly rose to fame with their distinctive acting styles. While their collaboration in the cult classic Andaz Apna Apna showcased their excellent on-screen chemistry, the actors didn’t actually get along while shooting the popular comedy film.

Andaz Apna Apna is a cult classic comedy starring Aamir, Salman, Karishma Kapoor, and Raveena Tandon. Although the movie didn’t perform well at the box office upon its release, it earned success over the years and became one of Bollywood’s most beloved comedies.

In a throwback appearance on Koffee with Karan, Aamir opened up about how he perceived Salman and how they patched up. He said, “In Andaz Apna Apna I had a very bad experience working with Salman Khan. I didn’t like him then. I found him rude and inconsiderate. After tasting the experience of working with him I just wanted to stay away from Salman.”
