Guess who Salman Khan's new protégé is!

Salman Khan is known to take aspiring actors under his wing and help them make a mark in Bollywood. From Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha, Zareen Khan, Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty, the actor has gone out of his way to help them launch their careers. And his latest protégé is his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma, who has been learning the ropes of acting by accompanying Salman to the set of some of his films, including Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Bajrangi Bhaijaan (both 2015) and Sultan (2016).

Recently, when quizzed about Aayush's debut, this is what Sohail Khan told MidDay, "Aayush is getting a lot of good offers. So, he doesn’t need us. He will not come in films until he is ready. He might get somebody bigger than us for his debut.” He went on to add, “It’s too early for Aayush to do films. Now, he has just started training.”

According to certain reports in the past, Salman was planning to introduce Aayush as an actor in the remake of Telugu blockbuster Pellichoopulu. He was then rumoured to be doing a film with Kabir Khan. However, nothing has worked out so far.
