Elli AvrRam says people in industry don’t dare to misbehave with her due to ‘angel’ Salman Khan: Many are scared of him
Actor Elli AvrRam moved to Mumbai from Sweden to pursue a career in Bollywood. She first appeared on Salman Khan’s reality show Bigg Boss 7, where her bond with Salman was adored by audiences. The same year, she made her Bollywood debut alongside Maniesh Paul in Mickey Virus. In a recent interview with Screen, Elli opened up about her relationship with Salman and revealed how he has always been protective of her in the industry.
Elli AvrRam talked about her bond with Salman Khan
Speaking about her equation with the superstar, Elli said, “I have been in touch with Salman. In fact, I recently met him after many years at Ganpati. I am actually very bad at keeping in touch. I live in my bubble and focus on so many things I want to do. I work on myself a lot. There are so many things you need to control and take care of when living alone in a different country that functions very differently from the one you were born and raised in with your parents.” She admitted that she has never been good at asking for help, even from her father.
Elli further spoke about Salman’s protective nature and added, “What I am extremely grateful for, when it comes to Salman and the fondness he has had for me, is that he is very protective of his people. I do believe he has been like an angel in my life. Over the years in the industry, from what I have heard from other girls about their experiences, it has been extremely shocking. And I somehow understood that many people are scared of Salman Khan, so they don’t dare to misbehave. That’s been a beautiful form of protection, and I’m very grateful for that.”
