How Salman Khan ended up creating THIS hilarious problem for Rishi Kapoor

Salman Khan is not just one of Indian cinema’s biggest superstars, but also a man famously known for his large heart. His generosity, warmth, and tendency to go out of his way for people he loves have become the stuff of Bollywood legend. One such incident from years ago recently resurfaced, leaving fans both amused and charmed. A clip from The Kapil Sharma Show, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, brought back a hilarious memory from Riddhima’s wedding festivities.

During the episode, Kapil Sharma asked the Kapoor family if it was true that Salman Khan had taken over the bar at Riddhima Kapoor's wedding. Without hesitation, all three nodded in agreement. What followed was an amusing anecdote shared by Neetu Kapoor that had everyone in splits.

Recalling the incident, Neetu Kapoor said that during the wedding, Salman Khan offered to be the bartender. "He said, ‘Main bartender banoonga,’ and I agreed because, well, it was Salman!" she laughed. However, things quickly took an unexpected turn. Not long after Salman stationed himself behind the bar, a waiter approached Rishi Kapoor to inform him that the alcohol stock was depleting much faster than anticipated.

A surprised Rishi Kapoor, who was confident that they had arranged ample liquor for the guests, found this puzzling. He decided to look into the matter himself. What they discovered was both hilarious and heartwarming. Neetu revealed that instead of actually drinking their alcohol, guests were discreetly discarding their drinks just to make another trip to the bar — because it meant another chance to meet and be served by none other than Salman Khan.

Neetu Kapoor added with a laugh, “Everyone was throwing their drinks away and lining up again at the bar, just to meet Salman!” The situation escalated to a point where Rishi Kapoor had to personally request Salman to leave the bar and rejoin the celebration, putting an end to the chaos his star power had unintentionally created.

Though Salman Khan and Rishi Kapoor shared screen space only once in the 2002 film Yeh Hai Jalwa, they had a warm personal bond, often seen exchanging mutual admiration and respect.
