Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi, who made his debut with the 2015 film Hero, has once again spoken out about the unwavering support he received from Salman Khan during a particularly turbulent phase in his life. Despite the controversy surrounding the Jiah Khan suicide case at the time of Sooraj’s launch, Salman stood firmly by his side, a gesture that continues to hold deep meaning for the young actor.
Salman Khan’s Open-Door Hospitality
In a candid conversation with Instant Bollywood, Sooraj shared heartfelt anecdotes about Salman’s generosity and kindness. One of the most striking revelations was about the welcoming environment of Salman’s home. “His house was always open earlier. There was a lock on the door, but it was never used,” Sooraj recalled. He described how guests were free to help themselves to anything from food in the fridge to protein shakes and vitamins without ever being questioned or turned away.
A Star Who Makes Everyone Feel at Home
Sooraj emphasized that Salman never made anyone feel like an outsider. “There were many times when he’d wake up, see someone at home, and just say, ‘Oh, you’re here, you had food,’ before carrying on with his routine,” Sooraj said. Despite being a superstar, Salman maintained a simple, grounded lifestyle and a modest home, always making guests feel welcomed.
Generosity Beyond the Home
Salman’s kindness extended well beyond his personal space. On film sets, Sooraj noted, Salman ensured that meals weren’t just arranged for him but for the entire crew. “His food comes from home and is meant for everyone. You can just walk in, pick up a plate, and eat no one is denied,” Sooraj revealed, praising the actor for treating everyone equally, regardless of their role on set.
Sharing More Than Just Food
Salman’s inclusive spirit also touched the fitness space. “The gym he sets up on set or anywhere else is open to everyone. If you want to work out, you’re welcome,” Sooraj said, highlighting the star’s willingness to share his resources.
