Old shoes, old loot
The photo is from the premiere of Salman’s niece Alizeh Agnihotri’s first film Farrey. The event was organized on Wednesday night and Salman was one of the biggest names in attendance.
A picture from the event shows him sitting with Tiger-3 co-star Katrina Kaif and another woman on a bench. He’s wearing a black polo shirt and crisp black trousers, but paired with worn black leather shoes. The leather appears to be being cut from the front of the shoes and there also appears to be a large hole in one of them.
The fans bring the jokes
While the real story behind the unexpected mansion choice is not known, fans were quick to react and joke about it. Someone commented on Instagram, “Amir itna bno ki… Jab tum fatta hua pehno to log majji nahi simplicity kahe (Be so rich in life that when you wear torn clothes, people call you simple and not poor).
Someone else wrote: “It’s bai wo fashion, salmon bai ka… who is a man with 20,000 ka milega dekhna (That’s his style. The same shoe will sell for ₹20,000 in Being Human). A fan joked, “Bhai mannat maang rkhi hai jab tak shadi nhi hogi tab tk naya shoes nhi pehnu ga (He has promised himself to wear only old shoes till he gets married).
Salman swapped shoes with someone?
Looks like Salman changed his shoes sometime during the screening. When he arrived on the red carpet, his shoes looked rather new.
Salman, Katrina, Gauri Khan, Kiara Advani, Suniel Shetty and many other stars attended Farrey’s screening on Wednesday. The film has also received positive reviews from critics and opens in theaters on Friday. It is directed by Sumendra Paddy of Jamtara.
