Salman Khan On Niece Alizeh Agnihotri: 'Was Last To Know She Wanted To Become An Actress'

Salman Khan is one of the biggest superstars in India. His love for his family is incomparable and the actor has proved the same time and again. From launching his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma to his niece Alizeh Agnihotri, Salman Khan has been the cornerstone for the entry of his family members into Bollywood. Alizeh Agnihotri is the recent addition.

Salman Khan and Alizeh Agnihotri recently attended an event in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai hosted by Hello Magazine Arabia. The duo was also featured on the cover of the magazine Hello. On the occasion, Salman Khan shared that he was the last person to know that his niece Alizeh Agnihotri was interested in acting.

While expressing his opinion on Alizeh’s debut last year, Salman Khan said that his niece follows simple dressing and doesn’t wear heavy makeup. “So I didn’t think she wanted to be a part of this industry. But after her studies, she realised she did. I was the last to know! Though I must say she has worked very hard on her own,” said Salman Khan.

Salman Khan’s sister Alvira Khan’s daughter Alizeh Agnihotri debuted in the film industry with the movie Farrey as a lead actress. It was directed by Soumendra Padhi. Produced under the banner of Salman Khan Productions, the film starred Alizeh Agnihotri, Sahil Mehta, Ronit Roy and Prasanna Bisht in the lead roles. The film revolved around cheating tactics employed by Alizeh and Sahil Mehta for their friends to pass the Oxford University Entrance Test. The film was theatrically released in November 2023.

Salman Khan’s words indicated that he was super proud of his niece Alizeh Agnihotri. Being his maternal uncle, he gave her all the guidance and opportunities she needed. Meanwhile, the actor will be seen on the silver screens with the film Sikandar produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by AR Murugadoss. It will be released on the occasion of Eid next year.

Salman Khan was last seen in the film Tiger 3, directed by Maneesh Sharma. The film earned over Rs 400 crore at box office worldwide.
