“I hate that he’s not expressive and I tolerate that he’s not expressive. No, sometimes I like the music to be turned off, but he likes the music to be on all the time. It’s like the minute he wakes up, he wants the music on. I like listening to the sound of birds.” she revealed about her significant other.
And what does she love so much about Salim? In her words, Khan loves that he “tolerates” the fact of her “having breakfast alone.”
