Salman Khan is my mentor: Pulkit Samrat

 Actor Pulkit Samrat, who is making his Bollywood debut with Kumar Mangat's ''Bittoo Boss'', cannot stop gushing about actor Salman Khan, who has developed a liking for him.

The 28-year-old actor says he is extremely lucky to be under the mentorship of none other than Salman.

"He (Salman) is my mentor. If he likes someone he goes all out his way to support that person. He is a man with a heart of gold and always supportive. I am blessed to have his support," Pulkit told PTI in an interview.

Salman is known for encouraging new talents like actresses Katrina Kaif, Zarine Khan, Sneha Ulal, Hazel Keech of 'Bodyguard' fame and music director Himesh Reshammiya among others.

"He has knack of understanding people. What is special about him is that he does things without even you asking for it," Pulkit added.

It all started when Salman attended the music launch of 'Bittoo Boss' as the chief guest, last month.

"He liked the promos and even the songs from the film...this is a big thing for me. He has some expectations from this film, hope I live up to it. I just hope whatever he is doing by going out of his way...I do not dishearten him. He is a man with the golden touch. I feel blessed," Pulkit said.
