Is Salman Khan the reason behind Kiara Advani’s Bollywood debut?

Supertsar Salman Khan is also known as a mentor, for he has helped many a newcomer to get a foothold in this industry. One more name added to the long list is of Kiara Advani, who is debuting in Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Fugly’. Recently there were rumours that Salman helped Kiara get her big break as she is his alleged model-girlfriend Shaheen Jaffrey’s niece. But the debutante negates it.

As per sources, Kiara said, “I know Salman sir through my mother and father. They helped me get in touch with him, as they have all grown up together. When I decided to become an actor, my father told Salman sir, ‘If you are in the industry then I don’t mind my daughter being part of it. Let her try and see where it takes her’.”

She further added  that even Salman was very encouraging and told her that when she was “prepared, it (debut) will happen”.

So we have another Salman Khan protegee, who is all set to debut in Bollywood.
