When Sudha Murthy said only Salman Khan could play Bajrangi Bhaijaan
Sudha Murthy shares her admiration for Salman Khan’s portrayal of Bajrangi in ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2023. Let’s revisit it on Throwback Thursday.

On July 17, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ completed nine years. The film released in 2015, but the Kabir Khan-directed film remains a favourite of many even today. It’s not just the bonding between Harshaali Malhotra’s character Munni and Salman Khan’s Bajrangi, but also the fact that it is different from Salman’s usual roles that attracted (and still does) cinema lovers.
In fact, this film had a deep impact on educationist, writer and social worker Sudha Murthy. She too felt that no one could have done justice to the character of Bajrangi. Let’s take a look at it once again on Throwback Thursday.
In 2023, Sudha Murthy appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show with actress Raveena Tandon and producer Guneet Monga. There, she shared her love for films and also admitted to watching many films. She then said, “When I saw ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, I said that Only Salman Khan can bring out the innocence of a child on screen. He is fit to do Bajrangi Bhaijaan. I like watching movies.”
Well, in this case, we have to agree with Sudha Murthy, right? Watch the clip here:
