Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit have a long history of working together in successful films, creating a beloved on-screen partnership that delighted audiences in the 90s. Their films consistently performed well at the box office, cementing their status as a top-tier pairing. At the launch of a song, a senior actor, who Salman Khan deeply respects, made a memorable comment, mistakenly referring to Salman as Madhuri Dixit’s son.
The anticipation surrounding their joint projects was always high. ‘Dil Tera Aashiq,’ released on October 22, 1993, marked one of their collaborations. The movie was directed by Lawrence D’Souza, featuring Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, supported by Anupam Kher, Shakti Kapoor, and Kader Khan in significant roles.
During the unveiling of the title track from ‘Dil Tera Aashiq,’ a lighthearted moment unfolded, causing laughter among those present. The event included the film’s cast, along with singer Alka Yagnik and veteran actor Dharmendra. As the title song was being launched in a musical atmosphere, Dharmendra engaged with the audience, responding to their queries.
Dharmendra praised Madhuri Dixit, referring to her as a ‘world-class’ actress. As he moved to laud Salman, he inadvertently addressed him as ‘their son Suleiman.’ The comment instantly sparked laughter from the audience. Dharmendra, acknowledging his mistake, immediately apologized to Salman.
Salman Khan quickly intervened, preventing Dharmendra from apologizing further, and embraced him. The songs from ‘Dil Tera Aashiq’ enjoyed significant popularity. The lyrics were penned by Sameer, and the film, produced by Rakesh Nath, performed well commercially. The title track, ‘Dil Tera Aashiq,’ featured the vocals of Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu.
