Veteran Bollywood actor Shehzad Khan, known for sharing the screen with Salman Khan in films like Andaz Apna Apna and Bharat, recently opened up about the superstar’s generosity. In an interview with India Today Digital, Shehzad defended Salman’s recent box office disappointments and offered his perspective on the reasons behind them.
Calling Salman his “old friend,” Shehzad addressed criticism questioning the actor’s relevance following a string of underwhelming releases. He said, “That’s nonsense. Total nonsense. Yes, his films not working is one thing, but Salman Khan can never be finished. Until God calls him, he will keep going. There’s no replacement for Salman Khan. Tiger is alive — and Tiger will remain alive. His films will return and be super-duper hits. This talk about him being finished is total nonsense. All those running their shops on YouTube by speaking against him — we shouldn’t take them seriously.”
He continued, “All his scripts that go wrong are because he tries to accommodate his friends who have no work. I won’t take names, but there’s an actor he gave a break to in Sikandar. That person said, ‘Bhai, I don’t have work,’ and Salman simply said, ‘Do Sikandar.’ That’s who he is. He helps selflessly. He doesn’t expect loyalty. He believes God is the giver. He’s never done anything with selfish motives.”
