Salim Khan, famous screenwriter and father of Bollywood actor Salman Khan, met Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief at his residence Shivtirth in Mumbai on Thursday morning, October 16. Both were seen laughing and chit-chatting while standing on a balcony of Thackeray's building.
Ahead of municipal elections and a possible alliance of Shiv Sena UBT and MNS, why Salim Khan meeting Raj Thackeray at his residence creates a question mark in the minds of Mumbaikars. However, Raj Thackeray, his wife Sharmila Thackeray and Salim Khan were seen chatting on the balcony.
Earlier, MNS workers helped around 500 students stranded in traffic on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway on Tuesday evening. Hearing the news, former chairman of the Maulana Azad Minorities Finance Development Corporation (MAMFDC), minister of state rank, and educationist Javed Shroff has praised Raj Thackeray for this initiative.
