Aman Verma: Salman stood by me during my difficult time

From being compared to legendary actor Dilip Kumar to being a part of a controversy involving him in a sting operation, Aman Verma has seen it all. However, the TV superstar will now be seen on the most controversial reality show of small screen, Bigg Boss.

"I have not taken up the show to clear out my image. Nor I am going to talk about the controversy because when it happened nobody asked my version of story. People just blindly believed certain section of the media. I was never given a chance to explain my point. However, during that difficult moment the one person that came forward and supported me was Salman Khan. He didn't knew me before the controversy but after just meeting for 5-10 minutes he decided to support me. When he came forward other people also joined me like Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Darshan. Salman stood by me during my difficult time and I never got a chance to thank him. I might use this platform now to thank him," said the actor.
