We have often heard that most women don’t like to be referred to as ‘aunty’. Remember how Aruna Sangal made the dialogue ‘aunty mat kaho na’ in ‘Hum Paanch’ so popular?
And till date, we have only spoken about women and their hesitation on being referred to as ‘Aunty’. But what about men and them being referred to as ‘uncle’? Here we have an example of an actor, who is a superstar, and hates being called ‘uncle’. And it is none other than Salman Khan!
Salman, who is hosting the television reality show, ‘Dus Ka Dum‘ often shares some funny incidences and anecdotes on the show which leaves everyone in splits. During one such episode, Salman shared something which was a revelation for many. One of the questions that was asked on the show was ‘how many per cent of women get angry when they are referred to as aunties?’. Salman, during this time, said that he hates it when children call him uncle.

Now we all know the fan following that Salman enjoys which also includes young children. And Salman’s love for kids is no secret, so it’s but obvious that they will call him uncle. But reportedly, Salman has trained all the kiddos around him (especially his friends’ kids) not to call him uncle, ever. We very well know that when kids are told not to do something, they will first go ahead and do exactly that. So every time Salman insisted on not being called an uncle, they often end up calling him ‘uncle’ in a teasing manner.
But Salman, being Salman found a solution to it. According to a report in DNA, a source has apparently stated that Salman would tell the kids that he wouldn’t meet them or talk to them if they continue to call him uncle. And guess what, it has worked!
Now, who would want to upset Salman Khan? Salman surely knows how to work things out!
