Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was rumoured to be dating his ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ co-star Pooja Hegde. Both the actors sparked their relationship rumours after self-proclaimed film critic Umair Sandhu called Salman and Pooja a new couple in the town. In his post on Twitter, he said the actor has fallen in love with Hegde while shooting together. And, later reports of them seeing each other started doing the rounds. However, Salman's friend has now addressed the rumours and clarified they are no truth to it.
Speaking with Times of India, Salman's friend mentioned that Pooja is the actor’s daughter's age and that it is embarrassing to read such fake reports. He even mentioned that the Sultan actor doesn't care about such rumours. Khan’s close friend was quoted as saying, “Woh log jo aise wahiyat khabar phailate hain, kuch to sharm karo (those who spread such irresponsible rumours should have some shame). The girl (Pooja Hegde) is Salman’s daughter’s age. Just because they are doing a film together (Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan) some idiots may feel it is good publicity for the film. But it is embarrassing.” ALSO READ: Pooja Hegde On Working With Salman Khan In Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, 'He Is Very Sweet And Real Person'; Actress Loves THIS About Him
