"we begged and struggled to get inside"
Nadia Hussain recently opened up about her desperation to attend a party thrown by Salman Khan.
This extraordinary experience happened during her visit to Mumbai for a modelling project.
The event was a birthday party for Salman’s sister, and Nadia, who was staying at the same hotel, was eager to be part of it.
On Hasna Mana Hai, Nadia shared:
“I was in Bombay for the shooting of an ad. The hotel I was staying at had a party that night in its banquet hall.
“It was Salman Khan’s sister’s birthday.
“When we came to know about it we begged and struggled to get inside because we really wanted to attend it.
“Thankfully we got permission to attend it.”
The star-studded guest list included notable figures like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor, among many others.
Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan were reportedly dating back then and Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika were also together.
Nadia also mentioned that Salman’s brothers, Arbaaz and Sohail Khan were also in attendance.
The model reflected on the atmosphere of the party, noting:
“I noticed a lot of tension between Katrina and Salman. Deepika and Ranbir were fine together.”
She highlighted that she sensed these dynamics without directly interacting with the stars.
Talking about the experience, she said: “There were a lot of similarities between that party and Pakistani parties that I have attended.”
In a previous podcast interview from 2022, Nadia mentioned that Salman appeared somewhat intoxicated during the party.
She stated: “Salman Khan looked quite out of it (drunk).
“I did get a picture with him and I mentioned in passing that I had come from Pakistan.”
Beyond her experiences in modelling, Nadia Hussain often makes headlines for her candid remarks.
In January 2024, she faced significant backlash for comments many labelled as “elitist.”
Discussing changes in the fashion industry, she said:
“Open social media and there will be a model. Fashion has become so accessible now to everybody.
“The best was that back then, 70 to 80 per cent of the models were from educated backgrounds. Everyone had a similar aspiration.
“That lot, it really was the best time. Afterwards, all kinds of girls became a part of the profession.
“The new models weren’t educated. They didn’t have a class or personality.”
