"He has helped me throughout my life. When my career hit a rough patch, Boney Kapoor gave me a film called Wanted. After that he gave another film No Entry which marked the comeback of Anil Kapoor. Boney ji has helped me a lot, for which I will always be thankful,” Salman said at the event.

The Dabangg actor also shared a story from his early days when he considered himself a nobody. "When I didn’t have any money, actor Suniel Shetty had a shop called Mischief and I was eyeing a pair of stone wash jeans, boots, and a purse. I knew I couldn’t afford it because I didn’t have money. But Anna saw my eyes and decided to gift me what I yearned," Salman said as he was seen hold back tears.
Furthermore, Salman Khan thanked Ramesh Taurani who gave him Pathar Ke Phool at a point when he had no projects for six months following the success story of Maine Pyaar Kiya. "After the film Maine Pyaar Kiya became a hit, Bhagyashree decided not to act in films. She had to get married and she left. She got all the credits. I didn’t have any film for 6 months. Then a god-like man came in my life – Ramesh Taurani. At that time my father had made a fake announcement from JP Sippy by paying 2000 rupees in a film magazine. I didn’t have any film. Ramesh Taurani went to Sippy’s office and he gave him 5 lakh rupees for music at that time and that’s how I got the film Pathar Ke Phool,” the actor said.
