Shehnaaz Gill reflects on Salman Khan’s mentorship
In a candid interview with Pinkvilla, Shehnaaz Gill admitted that Salman Khan provided immense guidance to her during her stint in Bigg Boss 13. She emphasized that the Dabangg actor’s support was rooted in fairness rather than bias.
“Support toh kaafi kiya hai Bigg Boss mein (He did support me in Bigg Boss),” Shehnaaz admitted. For Shehnaaz, the experience was about professional growth rather than getting a free pass. She highlighted that Salman was just as likely to hold her accountable for her mistakes as he was to offer support.
The Thank You for Coming actress further told us, “Aese feeling aati thi ki mai favorite contestant hun but aesa nhi hai. Salman sir, jo sach tha vahan, usko he support kar rahey they. Aesa nhi hai ki mere favor mein unhone sab kuch kar diya. Vo meri class bhi lagate they. (It felt like that I was his favorite contestant but it wasn’t like that. Salman sir would support the truth. It’s not like he did everything in my favor. He would also scold me.)”
