Bollywood superstar Salman Khan gave a rare insight into his time spent in prison. The actor recently sat down with his nephew Arhaan Khan and shared his personal and professional experiences on Arhaan's podcast Dumb Biryani. This marked his first-ever podcast appearance, reports Hindustan Times.

During the conversation, the Bollywood superstar reflected on his journey. One of the excerpts of the conversation that caught everyone's attention is when he briefly opened up about the time in prison.

While discussing the importance of hard work and discipline, the actor emphasised that making excuses, such as needing sleep, only acts as an obstacle to success.

He said, "'I am tired.' No, get up. No matter how tired you are. 'I don't get sleep'. Don't sleep. Do something; you'll automatically go to sleep. So I don't understand these things... 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," Salman added.

Salman's imprisonment was linked to a controversial case involving the illegal hunting of blackbucks in 1998. In April 2006, Salman was handed a five-year prison sentence and remanded to Jodhpur jail. He was released on bail a few days later. In 2018, a Jodhpur court against sentenced him to prison in a related case and the actor spent a few days in prison before being released on bail yet again.
