Salman Khan is among the most beloved actors in the industry and is known for always showing respect to his co-stars, both on and off-screen. Recently, actor Rajeev Verma, who portrayed his on-screen father in the classic Maine Pyar Kiya, shared that Khan remained unchanged over the years and continues to be the same person he was back then. He added that "Wo baccha abhi bhi waisa he hai".

In a chat with Vistaar News, when asked if the veteran actor meets Salman, Rajeev said, “Zikr nahi karte lekin wo bachcha abhi bhi waise hi hai. Ye cheez usme hai aur khas taur se humare Madhya Pradesh ke logo me hai. Wo apne buzurgo aur seniors ka abhi bhi us tarah se izzat karte hain. Aur wo abhi bhi kabhi kabhi mulaqat ho jaati hai.

(We don't talk about Maine Pyar Kiya anymore when we meet, but Salman is still the same kid. This quality is in him, especially among people from Madhya Pradesh. They still respect their elders and seniors in the same way. I still get to meet Salman occasionally).”

Rajeev brought up Madhya Pradesh (MP) as a reference since both he and Salman share roots in the state. While Salman was born in Indore, which is also his father Salim Khan's birthplace, Rajeev hails from Narmadapuram, MP.
