Meanwhile, Bollywood celebrities have showered praises on Salman and the recent one to join the wagon is veteran actress Rakhee Gulzar. The veteran actress, who played the role of Salman's mother in "Karan Arjun", said that the writer Vijendra Prasad, director Kabir and the actor should get National Awards.

"He excels at playing innocent characters. In the last 20 minutes of Bodyguard he was taken for a ride by the two women. In Bajrangi Bhaijaan again he is a naïve man pushed around by everyone. As a fellow-actor I could see Salman was not faking any of the emotions. He felt every minute of his role. The team would've been in serious trouble if they had gone wrong with the politics or religion of the theme. The writer Vijeyendra Prasad, the director Kabir Khan and Salman should get National awards," DNA quoted Raakhee as saying.
