Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was one of the inspirations behind Salman Khan’s look from ‘Tere Naam’!

We thought we knew everything about #TereNaam — the heartbreak, the intensity, the unforgettable hairstyle. But leave it to Salman Khan to casually blow everyone’s mind on the very first episode of Netflix’s #TheGreatIndianKapilShow (TGIKS) Season 3.

In a moment that had the audience (and Kapil) doing a double-take, Sikandar shared, _“Ye jo Tere Naam ka jo look hai, woh actually inspired tha Abdul Kalam saab se aur uss dauran I think Rahul Roy ka bhi same hairstyle tha. I thought ki jo small town hero hota hai na, unke humesha lambe baal hotey hai. The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, toh waha se ye aaya tha.”_ Yes, you read that right — Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the People’s President, was one of the inspirations behind that look!

Only on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 can you get an epic mix of heartfelt nostalgia, hilarious banter, and wild behind-the-scenes stories like this. Season 3 has kicked off with a bang, and if this is the first episode, we can’t imagine what’s coming next.

Catch Salman Khan in full form, on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 streaming from June 21st on Netflix.
