Salman Talks About His Jail Time

One of the most interesting parts of the podcast was when Salman spoke about being in jail. Salman also spoke about the importance of working hard and staying disciplined. He said people should not make excuses like being tired or not getting enough sleep. He said he spent most of his time sleeping because there was nothing else to do. 

“I sleep for an hour and a half or two hours, and then someday, once a month, I sleep for seven hours. Somedays, I’ll get a five-minute break between shots, so I’ll sleep on the chair. In places where I cannot do anything, like when I was in jail, I slept. I couldn’t do anything about it… When it comes to your work or family, the effort that you have to keep on putting in… you just need to be there for friends and family and work.”
