Unlike
many
of
the
star
kids,
Salman
Khan
could
not
cash
in
on
his
father's
celebrity
status
in
Bollywood.
In
spite
of
being
a
star
kid,
he
worked
hard,
struggled
and
has
obtained
the
superstar
status
he
has
today,
all
on
his
own.
Salim
Khan
is
a
noted
writer
in
Bollywood
but
never
did
he
once
refer
his
son
to
a
producer
or
director,
instead
he
would
recommend
other
actors
like
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Sunny
Deol.
Salman
revealed
to
a
leading
daily,
that
his
father,
Salim
Khan
would
recommend
Sunny
Deol,
Sanjay
Dutt
or
Kumar
Gaurav's
names
to
producers
but
never
his.
When
he
asked
the
reason,
Salim
said
that
none
of
the
producers
or
directors
came
to
him
asking
for
his
son
and
therefore
he
never
referred.
Salim
felt
that
they
should
notice
Salman
and
cast
him.
Salman
further
revealed
that
nothing
ever
happened
like
how
his
dad
said
and
so
he
went
out
looking
for
work.
His
father
not
once
stepped
in
and
helped
him
to
be
a
actor.
Sometimes
we
just
assume
a
star
kid
gets
all
the
royal
treatment,
may
be
that's
why
Salman
Khan
is
so
helpful
to
people
around
him
and
helps
the
talented
ones
to
make
a
debut
in
the
industry.
He
just
got
so
much
more
respect
from
us!

some
of
his
old
pics!
