Chitrangada Singh praises Salman Khan’s behaviour on set
The actress further praised Salman’s behaviour on set, particularly his interactions with the crew. She said, “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.”
