During a conversation with the host, Salman talked about his younger days and how he used to travel by train because he couldn’t afford a taxi every day. However, one time for the sake of convenience, he decides to travel by taxi to his college but escapes without paying the fare. Years later, when he started working in the industry, he met the same chauffeur, and this time he paid him all the money with interest.
He added, “Then I started working as a model and started making good money, so I decided again to take a taxi to go home. I stopped one of the taxis and sat inside, but the whole trip the taxi driver kept saying he had seen me somewhere before. As soon as I got home I told him I would have the money and he came back as soon as he knew me. We both laughed at the situation, but I made sure to pay the last amount owed with interest.”
