Salman Khan had spark even then: Alok Nath on 25 years of 'Maine Pyar Kiya'

Bollywood superstar Salman's debut movie Maine Pyar Kiya completed 25 successful years this week and veteran actor Alok Nath, who played Bhagyashree's father's role, remembered Salman's commitment during the shoot and said that "he had the spark even then".

In an interview given to a news website, Alok is quoted while lauding Salman's honesty that helped him sustain in the industry for approximately 25 years now. As much as Salman's smile charms his female fans, his hot bod is enough to make women go weak in the knees for him even now. It is learnt that Salman used to carry his dumbbells to the sets and exercise before certain shots that needed him to show a beefed up body.

Maine Pyar Kiya—a love story of a rich brat and village-bred girl—went on to become a superhit back in 1989. But, it came across as a surprise to Nath, who had never imagined it to become such a huge hit. He said, "The best thing about Maine Pyar Kiya is that it has not turned vintage or old yet. People still remember, love and watch it whenever it is played which in itself is a stupendous feeling."
