Salman turns mentor again

As Amrita Kak’s ‘Character Dheela Hai’ and ‘Dhinka Chika’ steadily climb their way on the music charts no one could be happier than the singer’s mentor Salman Khan.
After discovering her hidden talent, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan played godfather to Beena Kak’s daughter Amrita Kak and gave her a big break in the music industry with the song from his movie Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya.
Says a source “Salman Khan who is Amrita’s ‘Rakhi’ brother has always been supportive of her and encouraged her. In spite of having a packed schedule he flew down to Jaipur to be part of her recent marriage celebrations.”
Speaking on the same Amrita Kak, informs, “My voice had a bit of a husky texture and I didn’t know whether it would work in Bollywood or not. When I was in eight standard Salman bhai saw a tanpura lying in my room and figured out my interest for sing. He told me to take singing seriously and each time he would meet me he used to ask me to sing a line or two which was just his way of asking me to open up slowly and come out of my shell.”
“When I was studying in Bombay at St Xaviers, Salman bhai introduced me to Sajid-Wajid so that I could polish my skills. I started doing regular riyaz with my guruji Sarfaraz Khan and ever since there was no looking back for me,” she further adds.
