During a recent episode of Bigg Boss 20, host Salman Khan shared personal insights on navigating negativity, crediting the game show 'Dus Ka Dum' with significantly altering public perception of him. Khan recounted a challenging phase in his career post-'Maine Pyar Kiya' and subsequent films, during which he faced considerable negative press concerning his relationships and legal matters.
