Salman Khan says Dus Ka Dum cleared his negative image after Maine Pyar Kiya

Salman Khan revealed on Bigg Boss 20 that the game show Dus Ka Dum helped him overcome a negative public image he faced after his film Maine Pyar Kiya. He credited the show with changing how people perceived him. Initially hesitant to accept the show due to widespread negativity involving court cases and personal relationships, Khan consulted his father, Salim Khan. His father advised him to simply be himself, which led to viewers connecting with him as a person rather than just an actor. Khan noted that his image was cleared within one episode, comparing his experience to Amitabh Bachchan's association with Kaun Banega Crorepati. He shared this advice with the Bigg Boss contestants, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself.
