Sushmita Sen reveals her teenage love for Salman Khan after watching Maine Pyar Kiya

Actor Sushmita Sen starred opposite Salman Khan in the 1999 film Biwi No. 1, but her admiration for him began much earlier. As a teenager, she was "in love with this man" after watching him in Sooraj Barjatya’s 1989 hit Maine Pyar Kiya. She even had posters of Salman from the film in her room.

At an event shared on Shipra Neeraj’s YouTube channel, Sushmita reminisced, “Whatever pocket money I got, I would buy Salman



Khan posters, and in those days, Maine Pyar Kiya had released, so I even had the picture of the kabootar (pigeon) from that film because it was from a Salman Khan film."

She considered these posters "sacrosanct," adding, "My parents always said that if the homework was not done on time, we would remove those posters. So I would always finish my homework on time because those posters were sacrosanct. I was in love with this man."
