Salman Khan’s advice to his niece Alizeh Agnihotri: ‘If you have a heartbreak, keep it aside and go to work’

Giving an example of how Bollywood superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn started small and worked hard to climb the ladder of success, Salman said, “I think that there was a Salman Khan who was launched in Maine Pyar Kiya. It was a new film. There was an Aamir Khan who was launched in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. He was a newcomer. There was Shah Rukh Khan in Deewana, Ajay Devgn in Phool Aur Kaante and there was Akshay Kumar in Khiladi. So everyone has come up from that way.

Talking about launching Alizeh, Salman Khan said, “Her destiny will not be related to just the destiny of this particular film. If this film does a fantastic job, then she gets complacent and it will be khalaas (over). If this film does ok, then she works ten times harder. Then she’ll come up. I say this to all of you guys (the rest of the cast), don’t get complacent. Just keep working, working, working, working. No matter if you are happy and you don’t want to go for shooting or if you are sad and you don’t want to go for shooting, you are not here for that. You just keep working. If your girlfriend leaves you, you got a heartbreak, whatever happens, keep all of that aside, just keep working, focus on your work and give it your best.”

Alizeh Agnihotri is Salman Khan’s sister Alvira Khan and actor Atul Agnihotri’s daughter. Alizeh shared how she feels pressured because she comes from a filmy family. She said, “I feel the pressure. I am human. It would be abnormal not to feel the pressure. It is clearly a very stressful situation. You have to say the right things. It is extremely stressful, but I’m very happy at the same time.”

Farrey is scheduled to release in theatres on November 24.
