Mumbai, april 1 – Celebrated scriptwriter Salim Khan kick started the TBD Legends series, organized under the aegis of The Boss Dialogue on Sunday at Escobar, in Bandra. Right at the beginning he made it clear to the conductor Indu Mirani,
Koi bhi sawaal poocho magar ek sawaal math poochna ki Salman shaadi kab raha hai. Iska jawaab toh Allah miya bhi nahin de sakte.” No sooner had he declared that the house broke in to uncontrollable laughter.
In the course of the session when pushed to answer a question on Salmans marriage he said, “Certain things are best left to destiny.” The veteran scriptwriter who co-wrote successful films like Sholay, Seet Aur Geeta, Deewar, Zanjeer, Andaz among others with Javed Akhtar was at his vocal best, answering host of questions on his life and career.
The septuagenarian writer also briefly touched upon a few things essential to be a good film writer. Among other things he lamented the fact that todays kids do not read much. He said, “What can I say about others? My own kids dont read much. At times the newspaper lies untouched outside their doors for three days.”
The Boss Dialogues (TBD) is a one of its kind, unique initiative that offers you a chance to interact with your favourite film personality in a personal, intimate space.
The brainchild of former media persons, Indu Mirani and Namrata Bhavnani, through TBD they hope to provide a platform to those who would otherwise never have an opportunity to come face-to-face with their favourite film personalities.
TBD has in the past held sessions with Farhan Akhtar, Kabir Khan, Shekhar Kapoor, Farah Khan, Imtiaz Ali among others. The first dialogue of the TBD Legends series started off on Sunday with the formidable Salim Khan, the screenwriter responsible for some of the most memorable films in India.
