 "Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show: Salman Khan reveals Tere Naam look was inspired by late President APJ Abdul Kalam: 'I thought a small-town hero...'")
We thought we knew everything about Tere Naam — the heartbreak, the intensity, the unforgettable hairstyle. But leave it to Salman Khan to casually blow everyone’s mind on the very first episode of Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show (TGIKS) Season 3.
In a moment that had the audience (and Kapil) doing a double-take, Sikandar shared, “Ye jo Tere Naam ka jo look hai, woh actually inspired tha Abdul Kalam saab se aur uss dauran I think Rahul Roy ka bhi same hairstyle tha. I thought ki jo small town hero hota hai na, unke humesha lambe baal hotey hai. The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, toh waha se ye aaya tha.” Yes, you read that right — Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the People’s President, was one of the inspirations behind that look!
Sikandar ka swag + Kapil ki timing = BLOCKBUSTER 😍🔥

Only on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 can you get an epic mix of heartfelt nostalgia, hilarious banter, and wild behind-the-scenes stories like this. Season 3 has kicked off with a bang, and if this is the first episode, we can’t imagine what’s coming next.
Salman Khan recently attended the star-studded premiere of Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza starrer _Sitaare Zameen Par_ with high security in Mumbai. The screening also marked the attendance of Shah Rukh Khan, Imran Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Javed Akhtar, Rekha, and Himesh Reshammiya among others.
On the professional front, Salman Khan was last seen in Sikandar, which also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Kajal Aggarwal, Sanjay Kapoor and Sathyaraj among others. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film failed to perform at the box office.
