Bollywood star Salman Khan recently opened about making mistakes in his life in a conversation with Kabir Bedi as he promotes his autobiography 'Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Life of an Actor'. Kabir Bedi shared a clip of the interview on Instagram, he wrote, “Salman Khan and I talk about what it took to tell the story of my life honestly, and how I wrote my book in the pandemic.”

The video begins with Kabir Khan sharing how he penned the autobiography during the pandemic. Salman praises Bedi, calling him a “pure man”. He said, “Whatever comes out, it's straight from the heart, your soul.” In the conversation, Bedi said he has shared “the mistakes that I have made and I hope everyone can learn from that”. Salman responded saying that owning one's mistake is the most difficult thing one can do.

“Everyone denies that. I am one of those persons sitting right in front of you. I always said, 'I haven't done this.' But if you have said that 'yes, I have done this mistake and I have tried to rectify it this way', that takes a lot of courage,” Salman said. He further added that there have been times when he too has come forward and apologised. Salman said, “There are times when I have made mistakes. I have come and said sorry. Mistakes do happen but then repeating the same mistakes again is not okay.”

Lauding Bedi for his honesty in sharing his life experiences, Khan said, “When you write a book, the most courageous thing is to go look deep inside your soul. When you are writing, you think yeh likhu, nahi likhu (whether I should write this or not)... And then you say, to hell with it, I am just going to be honest with myself and honest to everyone, and I am going to write the honest truth about what all has happened with me.”
