Salim Khan, scriptwriter and father of Salman Khan, remembers the Afghan tribe his family historically belongs to. "It is Alakozai," he says. "My family came to Indore 150 years ago, and worked as [part of the] cavalry in the time of the British." Salman Khan is a fifth-generation Khan in India. While completing his MA in Indore, young Salim Khan was spotted by some producers who had come to attend a wedding in Tarachand Barjatya's family. He then left for Bombay, where he acted in what he calls "indifferent roles" in 20-odd films before switching to scriptwriting. (In the long chain of filmi coincidences, it is Tarachand Barjatya's grandson, Sooraj Barjatya, who gave Salim's son Salman his first big hit, Maine Pyar Kiya.)
