Salman was a struggler trying to get a break and was known for his fiery temper. When Shaheen went and complained about Anil to Salman all hell broke loose. Salman went directly to the sets of Humlaa to bash Anil. Just as Anil was about to leave in his white car, Salman rushed up to him and grabbed him by the collar. Salman then began yelling at Anil that be would teach him a lesson for acting fresh with his girl. Salman had his fists clenched ready to fight.
