What Javed said about Salman

Ye jo hamari parampara hain, tehzeeb hain, ye inn baccho ne haasil ki hain (The respect that is to be given to parents, how to stay, listen to them, in this matter his eldest son, who is the biggest star, he doesn’t look his father in the eyes. These kids have learnt our traditions and etiquette).”
