Chitrangada Singh recalls how people warned her about working with Salman Khan

Speaking with NDTV at the Yuva event, Chitrangada Singh dismissed rumors about Salman Khan being unprofessional on film sets. The actress said, “People said a lot of things about Salman, like schedules would be stretched and he might not be on time. People used to say he is unprofessional, but he is amazing.”

She added, “He treats everyone with love, looks after others, and shows concern even for crew members. He was very approachable and has that amazing quality of noticing the least visible person on set, whether it is a lightman or the fourth AD. He would ask whether they had a break and their food on time, and how they were being treated. To still have that concern after so many years in the industry is amazing. People said he wouldn’t come early, but he came early because I was shooting early.”
