Salman Khan, who has launched several aspiring artistes, is also backing the debut project of Mohnish Bahl's daughter Pranutan opposite newcomer Zaheer Iqbal, who is the son of Salman's childhood friend. "Mohnish Bahl is childhood friend of mine and he has worked with me as well (Hum Saath-Saath Hain, Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Koun?). Now, I have got the opportunity to launch her daughter. Zaheer's father is also childhood friend of mine. Once he gave me Rs 2,011 as a loan then, it increased up to Rs 11,000. So, I had to repay that loan to him with interest at some point or the other. I felt it's the right time to do that," Salman Khan said.
