Salman Khan, according to actor-comedian Krushna Abhishek, played a significant role in his decision to have children. Rayaan and Krishaang K Sharma, Krushna’s twin sons, were born in June 2017 to his wife Kashmera Shah. Salman was the first to learn that Krushna and Kashmera had become parents, according to Krushna.

Salman Khan, according to Krushna, was the one who encouraged him and Kashmera to have children and planted the idea in their heads. Krushna and Kashmera were married in 2013.

In a recent appearance on Maniesh Paul’s podcast, Krushna revealed, “It’s incredible, I had invited my twins to meet Salman Khan. Bhai ka bahot bada haath hai, bhai bahut chahte the bacche hone mein (Salman has a huge role in me having kids, he really wanted it). Salman Khan is my favourite actor. I always say to Salman bhai that I don’t need to meet him, that I don’t want anything from him, and that I am content with what I have. But, if you must know, I adore Salman Khan.”

He added, “His heart is beautiful. He’s a superstar, they say, and his heart is a diamond. I adore him, and he was desperate for me to have children. He would tell me over and over. He kept saying ‘babies, babies, babies’ when I went to his birthday party at his farmhouse. ‘You should have babies now,’ he said. Kash and you should start planning your family now.’ So he implanted this in our minds. So when I became pregnant, I first informed him.”

Kashmera Shah previously appeared in Salman’s films Pyar To Hona Hi Tha and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge. She recently posted a video of herself greeting Salman at the trailer launch event for the Marathi film Dharamveer to her Instagram account.

Salman produces The Kapil Sharma Show, where Krushna appears. Krushna and the rest of the cast had recently shared photos from the show’s wrap party on social media.
