Sooraj Pancholi reveals Salman Khan never used to lock his home: ‘You can just walk in and eat’

Sooraj Pancholi, who made his Bollywood debut in 2015 with the film 'Hero', has once again expressed deep gratitude towards Salman Khan. The film was produced by Salman himself, at a time when Sooraj was caught in the middle of serious controversy surrounding the Jiah Khan suicide case. While many in the industry kept their distance, Bollywood’s Bhaijaan stood firmly by his side, a gesture Sooraj says he’ll never forget.

In a chat with Instant Bollywood, Sooraj opened up about how Salman’s constant support and kindness had a lasting impact on him. He shared warm memories that gave fans a glimpse into the superstar’s true nature, off-screen.
'His house was always open'
One of the most surprising things Sooraj revealed was about the 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' actor’s home. It wasn’t just a place for family and close friends, it was open to everyone. “His house was always open earlier. There was a lock on the door, but it was never used. If you want to eat his food or open his fridge and take something, no one would stop you. Even if you want to have his protein shake or vitamins, nobody ever says no,” he said.

According to Sooraj, Salman’s home was a place where guests were never treated like strangers. “There were many times when he’d wake up in the morning, see someone there, and simply say, ‘Oh, you’re here, you had food,’ and then quietly go about his own routine without disturbing anyone. His house is actually quite small,” Sooraj added.

Food for everyone—On and off set
The 'Ek Tha Tiger' actor’s generosity wasn’t limited to just his home. Sooraj shared that this spirit of sharing carried on to the film sets as well. “Many people have said this and it’s true that when his lunch or dinner is arranged, it’s not just for him but for the entire unit. It all comes from his home, and very few people know that his food is meant for everyone. You can just walk in, pick up a plate, and eat, no one is ever denied,” he said.
Free use of the gym too!
It’s not just food that Salman shares. His gym equipment is also available for anyone interested in staying fit. “The same goes for the gym he sets up on set or anywhere else. Anyone is welcome to use it and work out,” Sooraj said.

While Salman is known for being welcoming, recent events have shown that not everyone respects that space. Just a few days ago, two people—a man and a woman, tried to trespass into his Galaxy Apartments home without permission. This has led to tighter security around the star.
