Salim Khan, the veteran screenwriter and father of Salman Khan, recently shared that his family has never consumed beef. In an interview, Khan explained that this practice stems from the teachings of Prophet Mohammed, who emphasized the importance of cows, stating that a cow's milk is a substitute for mother's milk and that cows should not be killed. He highlighted that while beef is consumed by many Muslims, his family has abstained from it. Khan also mentioned that Prophet Mohammed adopted good practices from other religions, such as the Jewish custom of eating only halaal meat, known as kosher. He emphasized the integration of Hindu traditions in his life, even before his marriage to Sushila Charak, now Salma Khan. Khan reminisced about celebrating Hindu festivals in his childhood and within his community.
