The latest news is that the Bollywood ‘Bhai’ has asked Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh to end their fracas

If the grapevine is to be believed, Salman Khan is the latest to play the mediator between Bollywood filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar and the Dhurandhar hottie, Ranveer Singh. What’s his connection? Why is he the trouble-shooter?

Farhan became close to Bhai during the pandemic

Well, Farhan is Javed Akhtar’s son. And Javed saab is the erstwhile partner of Salman’s father, Salim. Salim and Javed ended their professional partnership in the early ’80s. Post that, there was a long period of acrimony. There was even a stage when Javed and Salim didn’t speak to or acknowledge each other. However, during the pandemic, equations changed. When Farhan and his sister Zoya were doing the OTT documentary miniseries, The Angry Young Men (2024), Salim Khan took a shine to Javed’s two children. An insider said, “Salim saab felt Farhan and Zoya were hardworking, and this bhai-behen jodi had made Javed proud with their career achievements. He took a shine to these two, and he even remarked that he wanted his younger sons — Arbaaz and Sohail — to be like them.”

Coming to Salim’s oldest son, the 60-year-old Salman, he has one rule: anyone whom his father likes, he will make an effort to include.
