While recalling the incident during the shooting of Bandhan (1998), Aasif stated, “We were young then and Salman had an Esteem at that time. He made me sit next to him and he started driving everywhere on the footpath, on the road.

He further said, “He rolled down the window and the traffic police actually did not recognise him,” “He was like ‘Isne toh pehchana nahi. Maine kaha shirt utaar shayad pehchan le. (He said he didn’t recognise me. I said remove your shirt, he might recognise you then).”
