‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!’ fame actor Aasif Sheikh is the latest person to join the ‘Bharat’ star cast. The actor is elated to be part of this Salman Khan starrer with whom he has previously worked in few films.

Talking about his role in the film the actor told Mumbai Mirror, “I have only three friends, and Atul Agnihotri (‘Bharat’ producer) is one of them, so I was more than happy to be a part of this film. Also, I really like Ali Abbas Zafar as a director and I can’t wait to collaborate with Salman again. I am playing his sister’s husband in the film who always delivers these one-liners and there is a big time span that we cover together. I have known Salman since his ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ days. He is a very special person.”

Talking about the kind of bond he shares with the superstar, Aasif reminisced, “Whenever I shoot with him, I invariably end up in his vanity van for a chat. I remember one day, a big star had come to meet Salman, so I told him I’ll go out, but he insisted that I stay put as I am his friend too. He is a great human being and hasn’t changed at all over the years.”(Also read: ‘Bharat’: Check out the entire star cast of this Salman Khan starrer)
