A huge movie star came up to me and asked me why I was standing at a corner… I told him that I had been to several actors for a role but was politely rejected… the superstar’s sister is close to me, so he kindly said that she had spoken highly of my script and that I would meet him the next day to tell him about the film… Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would even get the chance to to tell story. I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated the first part of the film as if my life depended on it… He looked at me at the interval point (by which time I looked like I was in the Sahara -desert and water can keep me alive) kindly offered me water and said: ‘I’ll come with you!!!’ I was perplexed and said, but ‘you’re in the second half. haven’t you heard? He said, ‘I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don’t do this film’ and that’s how Salman Khan was in KKHH…. I am extremely grateful to Alvira and my father’s goodwill for ensuring that I had the perfect Aman and SALMAN KHAN in my debut film! Gestures and stories like this don’t happen anymore these days! Happy Birthday Salman! So much love and respect for you always.”
