In a dramatic plot twist straight out of a 1960s Bollywood movie, Salman Khan today informed the judge presiding over his hit and run case that he wasn’t actually Salman Khan.

The twist came after his driver had taken the blame for the incident. The driver claimed that it was him who was driving the car that fateful night when it ran over 6 people sleeping on the footpath.

Another person came forward to testify that he was drunk that day, and he saw the driver Ishaq Khan, and not Salman Khan run over the helpless victims.

A third witness to the incident testified that he loved Salman Khan, and was the biggest fan of the great Khan.

However, all these testimonies were overshadowed by the statement by Salman Khan, where he revealed his personal story. He informed the court that his real name was Ishaq Khan; and that he and the driver were exchanged in the hospital as babies. Whereas the driver, whose real name was Salman Khan, was bought up as Ishaq Khan, Ishaq Khan was in turn brought up as Salman Khan.

To show the court how this happened, the actor played a scene from the 1960s movie, Bhai aur Kasai, which showed the story of two children who were interchanged as babies, and one of whom was bought up as a butcher, and another as Mumbai underworld don. The movie’s final reel moved the court to tears, with everyone in the court crying on the shoulders of the person sitting next to them. The persecuter was seen wiping his tears off using the judge’s lapel.

The judge adjourned the court for the day, after thanking Ishaq Khan, formerly and later known as Salman Khan, for enlightening their day with his melodramatic story.
