Salman Khan turns mentor to Siddharth Nigam

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is known to be a fitness freak. The actor is the one who initiated the gym craze in Bollywood, inspiring many to follow his footsteps. Salman Khan loves to spend long hours working out in his private gym, to which he invites a lucky few to exercise with him.

Recently the actor was so inspired by Television actor Siddharth Nigam who is depicting the role of Chakravartin Ashoka, that he took the teenager under his wing.

Sources said, “Salman has been stationed at ND Studios in Karjat for over a month now shooting for Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. He jogs around the grounds and during one such run, he met the young actor and took an immediate liking to the 15-year-old Siddharth, who’s also into gymnastics, and asked him to join him in his gym. Siddharth is regularly spotted at the gym Salman has built for himself in the studio complex.”

Siddharth admits, “We first met through Manoj Joshi (who plays Chanakya on the show). We have often worked out in the same gym together.”

Some youngsters have all the luck, isn’t it?
