Tovino Thomas praises Salman Khan, Calls him “super sweet”

Malayalam star Tovino Thomas opened up about meeting actor Salman Khan last month, adding that the superstar was “super sweet”. Tovino said that despite his stardom and popularity, Salman was “very humble”.
Speaking in an interview, Tovino revealed that he was inspired to start working out when he watched shirtless Salman dancing in ‘O O Jaane Jaana’ and wanted a body like his. He said, “I had this thought of working out when I was in school, seeing this song O O Jaane Jaana, seeing him shirtless with a guitar and blue jeans. ‘This guy looks good, I should also work out and make a body like him.’ But then I was in school. Once I completed my 10th standard, I went and joined the gym. Years later, the one who inspired me to work out, I met him at his office.”
Thomas said, “He is very senior, he is a huge star but he was very humble, he was super sweet.” When Salman found out Tovino was using the gym at his hotel, he asked him to use the gym downstairs.
“I got a chance to speak with him for 10 minutes. Most of the time, we get to know about huge stars only from the media. From the media, I got a different picture of Mr. Salman Khan but now, I have got a very different picture of him. The way he behaved with me, he was so humble, regardless of him being a superstar. That’s something I am inspired by - being humble, no matter how much growth, stardom or popularity you achieve,” Tovino said.
