One of Bollywood’s most controversial friendship was the fall out between Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan. Now, Javed Ji is dishing out the truth about his legendary partnership with Salim Khan. This dynamic duo that brought us iconic blockbusters like Sholay and Deewaar is back in the day, and this time, it’s all about the real reason behind their split!

Javed Akhtar Spills the Tea: The Real Deal Behind Splitting with Salim Khan!
According to the man himself, it wasn’t about the money or the credit. Nope, it was something much deeper than that. As they soared to new heights of success, their paths diverged, and they found themselves drifting apart. It’s like Javed said, “You start meeting different kind of people and then gradually you become different people and that is what happened. We did not fight, there was no issue about credit, there was never any issue about money, there was nothing. We just grew apart. One realised that relationship is no longer there, that we now don’t sit together in the evening, we have our own set of friends. Gradually that happened and the rapport weakened, and it was reflecting on our work also.”
