Listening on repeat: Father in a bible, Peace with pain, Oh Appalachia.” His gesture instantly won over fans, as it’s not often that the actor publicly endorses musicians, especially someone so young.

Salman says encourage, and don't exploit

Bhaiyon aur behno ye English mein hai .. yahan par bhi aisey bohot hain. Unhe encourage karo exploit nahi,” ( “If we don’t support such kids, then what’s the point? Brothers and sisters, this is in English… there are many like this here as well. Encourage them, don’t exploit them.” )Salman urged.
