Salman Khan recalls dad Salim Khan saying ‘Tum cult star banoge’ after his dream debut Maine Pyar Kiya

Salman Khan’s niece Alizeh Agnihotri is making her Bollywood debut with high-school drama Farrey. The movie is all set to release on 24^th November. Ahead of the release, the cast of Farrey reached the reality show Bigg Boss 17 to promote the film with host Salman. During the Bigg Boss house tour with Salman, Alizeh recalled how she visited his movie sets as a child. After this, Salman Khan also took a trip down memory lane and recalled his father Salim Khan was confident that he would become a superstar.

Salman told Alizeh, “Jab Maine Pyar Kiya ki thi, tab Daddy ne, yaani ke aapke nana, jab unhone picture dekhi and he said tumko kya lagta hai tum star banoge? I replied to him nahin Daddy. He then said ‘Tum star banoge, tum cult star banoge aur tumko koi rok paayega toh woh tum khud ho. And today I am going to forward your nana’s advice to you (When I did Maine Pyar Kiya, that time my father and your grandfather saw the film and asked, ‘You think you will become a star? I said, ‘No dad.’ He then said, ‘You will become a cult star and if someone can stop you it is you).”

Salman then gave the same advice to Alizeh and said, “If not a star, you will become an actor as I’ve seen you work and you are doing good. If anyone who can stop you is yourself. Don’t let that happen to you.” Farrey is helmed by Soumendra Padhi and also stars Sahil Mehta, Prasanna Bisht and Zeyn Shaw in pivotal roles.
