Salman Khan talks about his past virginity comment and future plans for children on chat show

Actor Salman Khan spoke openly about his personal life on the opening episode of the ninth season of the chat show Koffee With Karan. During the episode, host Karan Johar brought up a famous remark Khan made thirteen years ago about being a virgin. Khan explained that the comment was simply a way to avoid discussing his private life on television. He shared advice he has followed since he was sixteen years old, given to him by his father. His father told him to treat his personal life like a bedroom and the country like a living room, meaning he should only share publicly what he would say in an open room. When Johar asked if he feels lonely without a life partner, Khan replied that he is happy and noted that nobody stopped him from having a partner. He also stated that he plans to have children at some point in the future, expressing happiness for Johar who previously had children through surrogacy.
