'Salman Khan Changed My Entire Personality': Palak Tiwari On Actor's Effect On Her
Last Updated: Palak Tiwari shares her admiration for Salman Khan, reveals working for free on Antim, and talks about her unforgettable debut experience in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Palak Tiwari's entry into Bollywood might seem like a dream come true, but it began with pure love for the craft and no financial expectations. Before making her acting debut in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan in 2023, Palak was part of Salman Khan's 2019 production Antim: The Final Truth, not as an actor—but as an assistant director. In a recent chat with Mashable India, Palak revealed she didn't take any money for her role behind the scenes on Antim. 'Paisa kya hota hai? I'm in Salman sir's presence, you think I'll ask for money? Why, I've never asked for money, ever! You can, Salman sir would say, 'Sure.' But main kya bachchi, main kya hi contribute karungi ki wo mujhe paise de yaar." Even after completing a full movie with Salman, she still finds herself in awe of the superstar. 'I've done a whole film with him, whenever I meet him till date, or even if I get a message from him, I get star struck. I usually don't get star struck, you can make anyone sit in front of me. But when he's in front of me, I stop speaking and start stuttering. He just changed my entire personality. Then he said, 'Aaram se bolo.'" Palak didn't hold back about being a longtime fan. 'I'm a closeted Salman sir fan. I'm not keeping it a secret anymore. But everybody knows I'm a super fan." Talking about getting the offer for Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, she added, 'I get paid to be around Salman sir for three months. Main toh kar rahi hu. It was a great experience for me. I learnt a lot. I made very good friends. It was a very good introduction to the industry. It felt like a debutante ball." She also looked back fondly at moments on the set, particularly when Salman was filming for Bigg Boss at Goregaon Film City. 'We used to chill there. He used to make us gym there and feed us sweets." According to Palak, Salman's home-cooked food is unmatched. 'He doesn't restrain himself. He doesn't believe in diets. That's why his body is so good." Palak shared how working with Salman shaped her thinking about fitness and well-being. 'He's my favourite person ever! He's my idol." While she isn't in constant touch with him, his presence in her life still feels significant. 'Salman sir is Salman sir! If he has something to say to you, he'll say it to you. Salman sir is like this omnipresent deity, he takes care of everyone. He's just a very kind man. He has a sense of what you're going through, so he'll ask you, 'You're doing good?' Whenever he asks you that, just know he's there for you." From admiration to mentorship, Palak's experience with Salman Khan has clearly left a lasting impact—one that shaped both her debut and her personal growth. First Published: June 11, 2025, 13:35 IST
