Neil Nitin Mukesh, who is a part of Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, has an interesting connect with the filmmaker and his hero, Salman Khan.
"When Hum Aapke Hain Koun released, my dad was out of India. So, my mom took me and my elder sister to a theatre to watch the film. As luck would have it, first day's first show was houseful. However, it had become a prestige issue for me, as all my friends were seeing the film that day. So, I told my mom that if I couldn't watch the movie that day, I wouldn't go home. Seeing the ruckus, someone offered to sell his tickets to us, and he charged Rs 500 per ticket. After seeing the film, my mom said she wanted the money back. So, the day I signed Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, I came out from Sooraj's office, called mom and said, 'Mom, I have got your Rs 1500 back," he recalled.
