In an unexpected revelation, Salman Khan recently shared a charming anecdote from Kareena Kapoor Khan’s childhood that has caught the internet’s attention. During a candid segment on the premiere episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3, the actor recalled seeing his own poster once displayed in Kareena’s bathroom—an innocent display of early fandom. However, as he recounted with amusement, the poster didn’t stay there forever.
The moment came to light when host Kapil Sharma asked Salman about spotting his own posters in unusual places. Laughing, Salman responded by revealing that many years ago, when visiting Kareena Kapoor’s home, someone showed him that a poster of his had been hung on the bathroom door. At the time, Kareena was just eight or nine years old and a huge fan. But by the time she reached her teenage years, the poster had been replaced by one of Rahul Roy—fresh off his popularity from Aashiqui.
Kareena’s First Crush Wasn’t a Khan
While this might have come as a surprise to some, Kareena has previously confirmed that Rahul Roy was, in fact, her first big celebrity crush. She had once shared that she saw Aashiqui multiple times in theatres, and her admiration for Roy ran deep enough to bump Salman off the bathroom wall. During an earlier episode of Salman’s game show 10 Ka Dum, Kareena had cheekily admitted to tearing down his poster to make space for Rahul’s.
True to form, Salman recalled the incident without any bitterness and even joked about it. He acknowledged the shift in Kareena’s fandom with a smile, noting that her taste simply evolved as she grew older.
A Long-Standing Bond
Despite the poster switch, Kareena and Salman’s professional relationship has stood the test of time. The two have worked together in several successful films, including Kyon Ki, Bodyguard, and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Their onscreen chemistry has been praised, and offscreen, they continue to share a warm rapport.
During the same segment, Salman also opened up about his fitness journey and credited veteran actor Dharmendra as his early inspiration. He also shared insights into the disciplined lifestyle of his father, Salim Khan, who at 89 still maintains an active routine, complete with long walks and indulgent meals.
