Mumbai, Nov 26 (IANS) Celebrity fashion designer Manish Malhotra, who has turned producer, recently graced the reality show ‘Bigg Boss 19’. During the episode, he revealed that he has done modelling with the show host Salman Khan during the initial phase of his career.
Manish has made his debut as a producer with the recently released film ‘Gustaakh Ishq’. He appeared on the show with the cast of his production, Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh.
During the episode, he said, “The first time I met Salman was when we were doing an advertisement shoot for Nescafe. I used to model. When Salman entered all the female models were like, ‘Oh my God, he is so handsome’. And I think just about a year later, he started working in films”.
Salman chimed in as he said, “No, I started working in cinema after 3-4 years”.
Manish went on, “He has stopped calling me that now but earlier he used to call me Richard Gere. I always wanted to come on ‘Bigg Boss’ to see how Salman does it, and he does it with absolute style, flair and panache”.
