Bigg Boss 15: Salman Khan apologises to Kareena Kapoor after forgetting her name in Bajrangi Bhaijaan

Bigg Boss 15 premiered over the weekend with Salman Khan returning for hosting duties. While the actor introduced the contestants of the new season through a two-part premiere episode, he was briefly joined by Ranveer Singh as well. 

The ’83 actor appeared on the show to promote his upcoming quiz television show, The Big Picture. Ranveer introduced the format of the game to Salman and even played a round with him. During the game, Ranveer posed a trick question, which left Salman stumped. 

He asked: “In this movie, what is Bajrangi Bhaijaan’s girlfriend’s name?”  The role was played by Kareena Kapoor Khan in the film. Salman replied in Hindi, “I don’t remember my own girlfriend’s name, you are making me recall the name of Bajrangi Bhaijaan’s girlfriend.” He jogged his memory and suddenly remembered that Bajrangi called his girlfriend Madam ji. 

When he couldn’t remember the actual name, Salman turned to the camera and apologised to Kareena, “Eh sorry Kareena, at least I know your name.” When Ranveer presented the options, it took Salman a few moments before he guessed the name Rasika.
