He shared that it was very difficult for his mom when his father Salim Khan( lyricist and screenwriter) decided to remarry.
New Delhi: Arbaaz Khan has opened up about his family's equation with veteran actor Helen after she appeared on his chat show 'The Invincibles'. Helen is the step mother of Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan and Salman Khan. Earlier, the actor spoke about her personal and professional life on the chat show. Now, in an interaction with indianexpress.com, Arbaaz spoke about their equation and how he credited his father for helping the family come together.
He shared that it was very difficult for his mom when his father Salim Khan( lyricist and screenwriter) decided to remarry. "It was difficult, especially for my mom. We were all quite young then. However, we saw that my father never neglected us or kept us deprived of anything. Also, as he spoke in my interview, the relationship was an emotional accident for him. Also, most importantly, it wasn’t a frivolous thing for him, he decided to give it full dignity and bring it into his life.”
Arbaaz also added that everyone in the family with time came to understand and respect the relationship. "It’s not easy to say that these things are normal and it will work. Also, just because one such family can come together, doesn’t mean it can be replicated by others. It is not an easy thing having two wives who are cordial and children who are accepting. It’s a very complicated scenario and it’s tough to answer what, how, and why it all worked out. But in hindsight, I think honesty and integrity made things a little easier for us.” He added.
Arbaaz also added that thanks to his parents that his family stayed together. The 'Dabbang' actor also added that most of his efforts came from his father's side. "We all have flaws and he accepted them. My mother decided to stand by him, and so did we. It happened organically over time.” He said.
Arbaaz also credited his father for being a 'pillar' for his family. "We have all gotten our understanding of life and wisdom from him. We have all made our mistakes, some of which could have been avoided. We don’t call ourselves sage and have gone through tough times, personally and professionally. But we continue to go on, and also we don’t tend to repeat them. Age ke sath maturity bhi aagayi hai (We have matured with age). We have all improved and evolved as people and that has always been the endeavour.” He said.
