Salman Khan is currently going through a difficult time after the loss of his close friend Sushil Kumar, whom he had known for about 42 years. The actor shared the news with his followers on Instagram by posting a few pictures along with a long and emotional message. Through his words, he expressed the deep bond and memories he shared with his friend.
Sharing a few pictures on Instagram, Salman Khan wrote, “This guy has been a brother for 42 years, the nicest, kindest, most helpful. Even if he was down and out, he was always smiling, dancing, and had no pain or stress in the worst of situations. Be it financial, emotional, or physical, he used to say, ‘ki farak nai painda, sab theek hoga.’”.
In his message, Salman also spoke about how his friend faced life and even death with strength. He wrote, “No tears for you, brother, only memories and laughter. My pra died with a smile on his face. Way to go, brother.” These lines show how he wants to remember his friend with positivity instead of sadness.
He continued by reflecting on life and its uncertainty. “Koi pehle, koi baad mein, sabko jaana hai, don’t know when and how. Toh kuch kar ke jao. Now enjoy your cigarettes and whisky, cheers bro, think I am gonna miss ya a bit.”
After this post, Salman Khan shared another message along with a picture of himself looking visibly upset. In this note, he shared his thoughts on life and death in a very direct and emotional way. He wrote, “Jisko jaana hai, usse kabhi mat roko. Jis ko uss ko bulana tha, woh toh jayega hi. Bulane ke chaar kaaran hain: Sabko eventually jaana hai. Achhe aadmi ko jaldi bula liya jaata hai. Ki aapne Mother Earth ka rent, EMI, GST nahi bhara hai toh wo bharne ka ek chance hai. Last, jo jaata hai vo hota hai ganda, corrupt, dishonest etc. etc., vo last jate hai, we will wait for them.”
He also mentioned that he had spoken to his friend’s wife and added, “He knows you’ve left her for someone else there, haha. I wish I could abuse, be angry, or cry, which I do easily, but for you, not even one tear. I see people on social media saying ‘RIP’, RSVP etc. You’re gone, bro. And I won’t call you a body, because you didn’t have one. So I will call you Sushil Kumar. No ‘rest in peace’. Wake the freaking hell up. Ahhhhh…Enjoy. Cheers, bro.”
Salman ended his note with a personal remark that reflected both his pain and his way of coping. “Accha bhala chal raha tha tu, mera liver aur kidney kharab karega na. And this pic is who I am.”
Through these posts, Salman Khan shared his grief in a very open and personal manner, giving a glimpse into a friendship that lasted over four decades.
