Once upon a time, Salman Khan’s Diwali turned out to be expensive for his family. When Kapil Sharma asked Salman who had visited his show, Comedy Nights With Kapil, ‘Bhai aapki Diwali toh Rs 600-700 crore ki hoti hogi’? the actor replied, ‘Nahi…meri Diwali Rs 750 ki hoti hai’ and went on to narrate an incident that happened in his childhood. He said, “Once, during Diwali, we brothers as kids wanted to burn papers as crackers. When we didn’t find any paper, I took a bundle of notes worth Rs 750, which was my father’s salary, rolled it and burnt it as crackers. Later, when my father came to know about it, he didn’t punish us, but explained to us the importance of money and how it’s the means to get food in the house. That was a big lesson I learnt that day.”
