Kiran Kumar recalls Salim Khan being kind to him during early days of his career and Salman Khan's super stardom: 'It's very rare to find a family like them...'
Kiran Kumar fondly remembers Salim Khan's pivotal role in launching his Bollywood career, acknowledging his early guidance and support. He attributes Salman Khan's success to the family's strong values instilled by Salim. Kiran recalls expressing his gratitude in a unique way, thanking Salim's image on a hoarding after a party, showcasing his deep respect. Veteran actor Kiran Kumar recently opened up about the immense impact legendary screenwriter Salim Khan had on his early career. In a candid and heartfelt chat, he reflected on the kindness shown by Salim during his formative years in the film industry and offered rare praise for the entire Khan family—especially Salman Khan , whose superstardom, Kiran believes, is rooted in the family's values and collective good karma. In a chat with Kunickaa Sadanand on her YouTube channel, Kiran revealed that his father, veteran actor Jeevan—famous for playing Narad Muni—shared a close bond with Salim Khan. On Salim's suggestion, Kiran was sent to boarding school to learn discipline. After returning to Mumbai, his ties with the Khan family remained strong. Though he had made a name in Gujarati cinema, it was Salim Khan who gave him his break in Hindi films by offering him a small but meaningful role. Reflecting on his bond with the Khan family, the actor called Salim Khan his "guardian angel," sharing that he would often visit him for coffee and guidance. He also recalled being cast in Auzaar, the directorial debut of Salim's son Sohail Khan , and noted that he has worked in several films alongside Salman Khan as well. He also went on to praise the entire Khan family, calling them exceptional and grounded despite their fame. He credited Salman Khan's superstardom to the family's collective good karma and highlighted Salim Khan's values as the foundation. 'Salman has a golden heart,' he said, adding that much of the credit rightfully goes to Salim Khan. Kiran admitted he never found the right moment or courage to thank Salim directly for all the support he had received. But in a memorable, if unconventional, gesture, he once expressed his gratitude in a drunken state. Recalling the night, he shared that after a party, around 2:30 AM, he passed by a Being Human store featuring a hoarding of Salman and Salim Khan. Overcome with emotion, he got out of his car, sat on the store's steps, and thanked Salim Khan's image on the hoarding—his own heartfelt, if slightly inebriated, tribute to a man he considers his guardian angel.

‘Drunk' Kiran Kumar sat on the road at 2:30 am in front of Salman Khan's Being Human: ‘Was pretty high, thanked Salim Khan'
Stories of legendary screenwriter Salim Khan's generosity aren't rare. In a recent interaction, veteran actor Kiran Kumar spoke about Salim Khan, of the screenwriting duo Salim-Javed, being kind to him during the early days of his career and offering him roles in his films. Kiran didn't just appreciate Salim but also sang praises for the entire Khan family, calling them humble and welcoming. Speaking to Kunickaa Sadanand on her YouTube channel, Kiran shared that his father, Jeevan, known for playing Narad Muni in 1950s films, was friends with Salim. Kiran recalled how it was on Salim's recommendation that his father sent him to a boarding school, where he learned discipline. After returning to Mumbai, Kiran continued his association with the Khan family. He acted in many Gujarati films, but when he wanted to transition to Hindi films, it was none other than Salim who offered him a small role in one of his films. Speaking about it, he said, 'Salim saab is my guardian angel. I would often go and meet him over coffee. When his son Sohail Khan made his directorial debut with Auzaar, I acted in his film. I have acted in many films with Salman also.' He added, 'It's very rare to find a family like them. Every member of that family is terrific and the superstardom of Salman Khan is because of the good karma of the whole family, and Salman himself has a golden heart, and the credit goes to Salim Khan.' Kiran admitted he never mustered the courage to thank Salim Khan for all the favours he had done. But one night, while drunk, he found his own unique way of showing gratitude. Sharing the incident, he said, 'Salim Khan has done a lot of favours for me. One day I was coming from a party and I was pretty drunk. On the way, I saw a hoarding of Salman Khan and Salim Khan outside the outlet of their brand Being Human. I was pretty high. It was 2:30 am in the morning, I got out of my car and I sat on the stairs of the store and I thanked Salim Khan's hoarding.'
