Salman Khan's views on women's attire have recently been brought to light by actress Daisy Shah, who has worked with him in films like Jai Ho and Race 3. In an interview with Hauterrfly, Shah revealed that Salman Khan believes that women look more beautiful when they are covered up. She quoted him as saying, " Ladki ko jitna dhakoge, utni hi zyada sundar dikhegi (a woman will look more beautiful if you cover her up)".
Shah shared an anecdote from her experience working on Jai Ho to illustrate Khan's perspective. She recalled a scene where she was supposed to wear a short nightdress for a morning sequence. Khan found the outfit inappropriate and asked that she be covered with a blanket. According to Shah, Khan felt the dress was too revealing.
This isn't the first time that Salman Khan's views on women's dressing have been discussed. In 2023, Palak Tiwari, who worked as an assistant director on Antim, shared that Salman Khan had a rule that every girl on his set should be covered "like good proper girls". She added that Salman is traditional and wants the women to be protected.
Salman Khan's preference for women dressing modestly on his film sets is well known. He has a strict code of conduct for women, including crew members and co-stars, insisting they dress modestly. This extends to costumes worn on screen as well. According to Daisy Shah, Salman doesn't want women to be projected as "showpieces" in his films.
