Sudha Chandran Recounts Salman Khan's Compassionate Gesture in Emotional Interview
Veteran actor and classical dancer Sudha Chandran has publicly shared a deeply personal and heartwarming anecdote about superstar Salman Khan, describing him as "incredible" and lauding his discreet acts of kindness. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Sudha opened up about a pivotal moment from her past when she was collaborating on a film with Salman while simultaneously grappling with a severe family health emergency.
A Private Conversation That Left a Lasting Impression
Sudha Chandran vividly recalled the incident, stating, "That man is incredible. I remember I was doing a film with him and at that time my mother was in the hospital. He may not remember this, but I was sitting and having lunch with my staff." She explained that Salman's assistant approached her, saying, "Sir aapse baat karna chahate hain." Upon meeting him, she inquired, "Yes Salman sir, kuch?"
To her astonishment, Salman Khan responded, "I heard that your mother is down with cancer. Any help you need?" Sudha was taken aback and questioned how he knew about her mother's condition. Salman simply brushed it aside, replying, "That's besides the point. You need help or not? If you need help, one call away, I will be there for you."
The Essence of Salman Khan's Character and Values
Reflecting on this gesture, Sudha Chandran emphasized, "That's Salman bhai and I will never forget this. He may have forgotten this. Maybe unki zindagi mein kitne log aaye, kitne logon ko unhone madad ki hogi, but mere liye it was a respect button for Salman at that." She went on to praise his nature, noting that his success stems from the blessings of his family and well-wishers, as he never boasts about his good deeds.
Sudha elaborated on his philosophy, saying, "Bolte na, jab yeh haath deta hai toh yeh haath ko nahi pata hona chahiye. He is one person." She highlighted the contrast between his public persona and true self, asserting, "What he presents and what he is are two different personalities. He has got a heart of gold."
Surprise and Deep Respect for the Superstar
Expressing her continued amazement, Sudha added, "Unko kya zarurat hi mujhe bula ke puchne ke? The first thing is, how did he know? Mujhe wo samajh mein nahi aaye baat." She pointed out that Salman did not even explain how he discovered her situation, simply focusing on offering support with the words, "Wo chhod do. Help chahiye ya nahi chahiye? Chahiye toh one phone, I am there for you."
This moment profoundly impacted Sudha Chandran, earning her immense respect for Salman Khan—not due to his stardom, but because of his compassionate and attention-free approach to helping others. She underscored that while he might not recall the incident, it remains a testament to his genuine character and the silent generosity that defines him behind the scenes.
