Mumbai: Legendary choreographer Saroj Khan's daughter Sukaina recently opened up about the beautiful bond that Salman Khan and the late choreographer shared. She said that Saroj prayed for Salman's well-being a week before she was admitted to the hospital.
In an interview with a leading portal, Sukaina stated, "I remember a week before she got admitted to the hospital, she went in for namaaz and when she got up, I asked her if she prayed for us. She said she obviously prayed for her family but there was someone special she was praying for."
She added, "When I asked her who it was, she said, it was Salman Khan. I looked at her and smiled. She told me that Salman sir is doing so much good for people around him but he's always taken in the wrong, which is what I don't understand. He isn't bad and people should just let him be. She wished him a long life and happiness."
