Salman Khan says he remained jobless for about four to six months after the release of *Maine Pyar Kiya*. In remarks referenced by NDTV, he explains that he expected work to continue but faced uncertainty when his next opportunity did not materialize immediately.
According to Salman, the situation was linked to Bhagyashree’s decision at the time. He says Bhagyashree “decide[s]” that she would not do films and would instead focus on getting married, which he presents as part of why he felt that work might not be available for him in the short term. The accounts shared are based on Salman’s own recollection and do not provide additional documentary detail about specific employment contracts or projects during that period.
