Salman Khan: Father's advice saved my image

Salman Khan recounted a challenging period in his career marked by intense negativity and media scrutiny. He admitted to initial reluctance in hosting the television show 'Dus Ka Dum,' citing the extensive controversies and discussions surrounding his personal and professional life at the time.

He shared that his father, writer Salim Khan, offered crucial advice. When Salman affirmed his trust in his own personality and upbringing, Salim Khan urged him to simply be himself on the show. This guidance proved instrumental in transforming public perception.

Salman believes 'Dus Ka Dum' allowed viewers to see him as a person, forging a connection beyond his film roles. He compared this impact to Amitabh Bachchan's association with 'Kaun Banega Crorepati,' noting how the show reshaped his media-created image significantly.
