Sushmita Sen recalls Salman Khan encouraging her to wear heels during Biwi No.1 despite his height; says, “I thought that was very progressive”

Sen disclosed how director David Dhawan would often instruct her to wear flats on the set of Biwi No. 1. However, Salman Khan, her co-star in the film, had a different perspective. Sen recalled, “When David would say on the sets of Biwi No. 1 that ‘Sush, don't wear heels', I would come in flats like okay, no problem. And Salman would say ‘that's a nice outfit but why are you wearing those chappals?' I would say ‘because you are short, I can't wear heels' so he burst out laughing and say ‘go and wear heels. I'll manage my height, you manage yours'. So, I thought that was very progressive. It is something about Salman I have always enjoyed and loved.”

The camaraderie between Sen and Khan extended beyond Biwi No. 1, as the duo has shared the screen in several other notable films like Maine Pyaar Kyun Kia and Tumko Naa Bhool Payenge.
