Salman Khan reflects on emotional moment during 'Maine Pyar Kiya' filming

Salman Khan recently shared insights into filming the iconic song Kabootar Ja Ja, a pivotal moment that solidified his potential as a lead actor.

During a recent interview with with Hello! Indo-Arabia, the 58-year-old actor recalled getting teary-eyed during the shoot of Maine Pyar Kiya’s song Kabootar Ja Ja.

The Dabangg actor said, “I was about 18 years old, and there was a truly memorable moment during the shoot for the song Kabootar Ja Ja Ja when I suddenly knew that this was the role for me.”

“During several narrations, I’d imagine Jackie Shroff or Anil Kapoor in those roles, but I could never actually see myself doing big films. That moment was the first time I really felt, ‘Yes, I can do this’. I had tears in my eyes," Salman added.

Salman recently penned an open letter to express his heartfelt appreciation to his fans following the success of the film.

He wrote, "Here is a little something I want you guys to know about me. Firstly, I have to thank you for accepting me and for being my fans. I am doing and concentrating on good scripts to the best of my judgment because I know that whatever I do now will be compared to Maine Pyaar Kiya."
