Behaviour With His First Wife
While in the United States, his first wife, Samira Jumani, gave some interviews. Salem “was a violent "psychotic man" according to her.”
“He was never a family person. I never led a life I would say I was married,” she maintains.
However, Pramod Mahajan's brother, Pravin, who shared time in prison with Abu Salem, said that "Abu Salem is polite."
Subhash Ghai said in an interview with the Times of India that Salem had called him up asking for the overseas rights of his film Pardes. Ghai noted that Salem was very polite in his conversation and confessed to being a big fan of Ghai's work. When Ghai told Salem that the matter of the overseas rights had already been settled, Salem asked for a copy of the movie, so that he could make pirated copies.

Famous quotes containing the words behaviour and/or wife:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies” dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
