New girl in Salman's life? | Total Filmy

It seems that the 'Dabangg' Khan has fallen in love all over again. Grapevine has it that Salman Khan, one of the most eligible bachelors of the tinsel villa, has found love again.

And the “new girl”, Hazel, a British model, is Salman's co-star in 'Bodyguard'. Reportedly, the duo has been adoring bike-rides and spending quality time with each other, before and after the shooting schedules on the sets.

Post his splitsville with Katrina Kaif, last year, the A-list actor had been maintaining a low profile about his love life and wanted to brood over his filmy career.

SALMAN KHAN GETS HIS LOVE?
Tagged as the godfather of the newcomers, speculations are rife about Salman's budding off-screen chemistry with Hazel.

A source spilled the beans, “Most new girls in the industry get quite intimidated by Salman, but Hazel has not shown any such signs. Salman and she hit it off like a house on fire. It now seems that they are more than just good friends.”

This is not the first time when Salman has been linked with an actress. Earlier, there were rumors about his clandestine affairs with Mahek Chahal, Bruna Abdullah and Kangana Ranaut, besides, his love lock-ups with Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif, Somy Ali and Sanjeeta Bijlani.

SALMAN TURNS RESCUER
The 45-year-old thespian, recently, turned a rescuer for his brother-in-law, Atul Agnihotri, during the shoot of Siddique Lal's 'Bodyguard'.

Reportedly, the team of 'Bodyguard' was shooting for some solo scenes with Kareena Kapoor in Pune, when the Kapoor lasso fell ill. Nearly 200 people were kept on hold for shooting that day.

“The shooting had come to a halt since Kareena fell ill and Salman wasn't expected till much later. A lot of time would have been wasted and nearly 200 people would have been left hanging if it weren't for Salman's quick thinking,” said an industry insider.

Salman, who was in Jaipur for a charitable event, was immediately buzzed. In order to save the schedule from getting dispersed, Salman took the same helicopter back, from Jaipur to Pune. He asked the captain to land at the Symbiosis Institute of Management, in order to save time.

“Salman bhai saved a day's shooting for us after Kareena fell ill and was advised two days' bed rest. We were canning a song that day and so I didn't have a supporting cast to fall back on.

“I requested Salman bhai to return early and he was back by the time we'd finished lunch. And we shot some solo portions with him,” confirmed the 'Bodyguard' producer, Atul Agnihotri.
