It's common knowledge that the former Pakistani Cricket sensation Shoaib Akhtar and Bollywood supernova Salman Khan have been friends for many years now. Whenever Shoaib is in India, he makes it a point to visit Salman's house and meet his parents.
He shares, "I often visit Salman's house whenever I am in India. I don't go (there) for Salman. I go there to meet his parents. He is an amazing personality and I really admire how Salman and his brothers respect their parents."
He added, "I am sure anyone who meets them will come back with a smile on their faces. They (Salman and his family) have a big heart. They are helpful people."
Salman's philanthropic work through his non-profit organisation Being Human is well known and chronicled and also it's a known fact that Salman and his family are excellent hosts and go that extra mile in taking care of the guests in the house. So Shoaib's statement is hardly surprising for anyone in the know.
