Speaking to ANI, the actor shared that he sees Salman as a 'very helpful' and kind person.

Mere acche dost hain, aur hamara bahut purana sambandh hai. I have only good things to say about him. Main unhe ek acche insaan ke roop mein dekhta hoon, a very helpful person. Ye meri raaye hai; log kya kehte hain ya kya kahenge, I don't care. Woh aur main acche dost hain. Woh hamare senior hain. 'Maine Pyaar Kiya' pehle aa chuki thi. Main 1991 mein aaya tha; woh 1986-87 mein aa chuke the.' (He is a very good human being. We share an old bond and friendship. I see him as a kind person. He is very helpful.
