In IIFA 2022, Salman Khan was the centre of attention, and during the major event, the actor sobbed as he recalled his struggles. Maniesh Paul, the evening’s host, requested Salman to relate the most emotional experience of his life during the show. Khan, who was sitting in the crowd, got up and began wandering about, sharing his struggle.
Boney Kapoor was congratulated by the Dabbang star for delivering him the perfect comeback with Wanted. He reached out to Kapoor as he spoke about him, and the two hugged.
Salman said, ” Boney ji has helped me throughout my life. When my career hit a rough patch, Boney Kapoor gave me a film called Wanted. After that, he gave another film No Entry which marked the comeback of Anil Kapoor.”
Then, he went a few years back and shared how he couldn’t afford a pair of jeans, or boots, and how Suniel Shetty helped him. “When I didn’t have any money, actor Suniel Shetty had a shop called Mischief and I was eyeing a pair of stone wash jeans, boots, and a purse. I knew I couldn’t afford it because I didn’t have money. But Anna saw my eyes and decided to gift me what I yearned.” Salman shared his story while reaching toward Suniel son’s Ahan. He tried to hold back his tears, but couldn’t do so. He hugged Jr Shetty and continued sharing his struggle.
Following that, Salman talked about how producer Ramesh Taurani helped him find employment after his six-month hiatus. No one gave me anything for six months after Maine Pyar Kiya. He claimed, “I didn’t have any film for 6 months. Then a god-like man came in my life – Ramesh Taurani. At that time my father had made a fake announcement from JP Sippy by paying 2000 rupees in a film magazine. I didn’t have any film. Ramesh Taurani went to Sippy’s office and he gave him 5 lakh rupees for music at that time and that’s how I got the film Pathar Ke Phool.”
