'Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai' actor Aasif Sheikh who worked alongside Salman Khan in the 1998 film Bandhan recalled an incident where the superstar drove his car on the footpath. Aasif who shares a great camaraderie with Salman shared how the actor was very confident about walking away after creating a mess given his superstar status, but this one time things didn't go as planned.

When Salman Khan was caught driving on the footpath

In an interview with Lallantop, Aasif revealed that Salman owned an Esteem back in the day and once asked the actor to hop along while they were returning for a shoot location. He said, "We were young then and Salman had an Esteem at that time. He made me sit next to him and he started driving everywhere on the footpath, on the road. I said, ‘Salman, pakde jayenge (we will get caught).' He said, ‘Pakde jayenge toh yaar Salman Khan hain ghabrao mat. (Even if we get caught, don't worry, Salman Khan is with you)."

In no time, a traffic police personnel pulled them over and failed to recognise Salman, which got them in trouble. Aasif recalled, "He rolled down the window and the traffic police actually did not recognise him. He was like ‘Isne toh pehchana nahi. Maine kaha shirt utaar shayad pehchan le. (He said he didn't recognise me. I said, ‘Take off your shirt, he might recognise you then)."
