Salman Khan, who is known for surprising his friends and colleagues with his kindness often, did something on the same lines recently. Apparently, the man is not just kind towards female stars or kids but also towards senior citizens and old actors.
So the story goes something like this that Salman Khan asked Raj Babbar for a favor to act as Kareena Kapoor's father in Bodyguard at the eleventh hour because Shatrughan Sinha who was earlier supposed to play the role had to quit due to date issues. Shatrughan ji was facing clashing dates for Bodyguard and his TV show - the Bhojpuri version of Kaun Banega Crorepati and so he gave up his role in Bodyguard.
Raj Babbar accepted the offer but refused to accept any payment from Salman for his role. However, Salman gave Raj Babbar ji a big surprise on the last day of his shoot for the film by gifting him a high end four wheeler.
It is said, Raj Babbar was shocked and so moved by the gesture that he was in tears.
Well, it is these very things that make Salman Khan so different from the rest of the actors. He may have some negative qualities but his heart is really genuine. He does show these gestures often even when he is getting nothing in return from such acts. I have not heard of Aamir Khan or SRK or the Bachchans for that matter do anything of this sort out of respect for senior actors.
It is these acts of Salman Khan that make his fans fall in love with him all over again.
