Well, before
Zaheer and Pranutan, Salman Khan has launched many stars like Aditya Pancholi’s
son, Sooraj Pancholi and Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya Shetty. Salman’s
brother-in-law Aayush Sharma is also set to make his debut under his production
house. While speaking to Hindustan Times, the actor had spoken about being the
godfather to star kids. He had said, “Somebody gave me a break so I am doing
the same. It’s also because my upbringing has been very correct. There’s no
insecurity or jealousy. I like people to be successful and have a great future
ahead. If you are doing well, your family is doing well. Every day that I don’t
work I feel guilty.”
