Two decades after its release, Tere Naam remains one of Salman Khan’s most iconic films — largely due to his memorable hairstyle. In the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show, the 59-year-old revealed the look was inspired by former Indian President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
“My Tere Naam look was inspired by Abdul Kalam Saab,” Salman told host Kapil Sharma, adding while Rahul Roy had a similar look earlier, he envisioned a small-town hero with long hair.
Directed by the late Satish Kaushik, Tere Naam (2003) was a remake of the Tamil film Sethu. Salman also recounted a recent incident in which a woman fan managed to enter his home claiming, “Salman called me.” She was escorted out after being spotted by his household staff.
