At IIFA Awards 2022, Salman Khan recalled how he did not have enough money to afford clothes and how Suniel Shetty helped him.
Salman Khan is famous for his generosity. The superstar recently hosted the 22nd International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA Awards 2022) where he remembered his old days and revealed how various industry people helped him during his tough times. The ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ actor shared that once he did not have enough money to buy a shirt and actor Suniel Shetty saw that and gifted it to him. Salman visibly got emotional recalling the incident as he walked near Suniel’s son Ahaan Shetty. The latter got up from his seat and gave Salman a hug.
“There was a time when I didn’t have a lot of money. I only had enough to be able to buy one shirt and jeans. During that time, a new fashion trend had come about and that was stone-washed jeans. I was out shopping and at a very popular store I saw a stone-washed denim jeans and shirt. I only had money enough to buy the jeans and I left the shirt alone. Suniel Shetty, who was with me in the store, noticed that I didn’t have money to buy it, so he bought the shirt and gifted it to me,” Salman shared at the IIFA awards 2022.
