Add One Name To The Long List Of Unsuccessful Salman Khan’s Protegees

Call it a bizarre coincidence. But  most , if not all, the  young actors and actresses whom Salman Khan has introduced   on screen have flopped. In 2019  Salman launched  Zahir Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl his home production  Notebook. Their  career  went nowhere  after their   high-profile debut until recently when Pranutan has  signed her  second film, a low-budget  film entitled Helmet  co-starring Aparshkati Khurrana and produced by Dino Morea.

 Then there  is  poor Sooraj Pancholi  launched by Salman in Hero three years  ago, still struggling after  his second release  , Satellite Shankar also flopped. 

The latest  in the long line of Salman Khan’s  unlucky  debutantes is Saaee Manjrekar,  filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar’s daughter who  landed herself a plum role in  Dabangg 3. Though  she has been appreciated  for her  performance even the most  steadfast supporters  of this deplorable film have commented on how ill-matched she looked  with  Salman.

Incidentally  another Salman discovery  Warina  Hussain  who made her debut opposite  Salman’s bother-in-law Ayush Sharma(needless  to say, he too flopped)   in 2018’s  Loveratri is back doing an item song with Salman in Dabangg 3.

 There is  a disturbing pattern  of ill-fated careers  here,and all those youngsters  hovering around the Superstar in the hope  of getting launched  by him, better think again.
