Salman on romancing Rashmika
Salman Khan has been facing a lot of flak for romancing an actress half his age in the film. While Salman's actual age is 59, he is romancing Mandanna, who is just 28 in real life. On being asked about the age gap, the Dabangg Khan was quick to shut down reporters. He reasoned that if the actress and her family doesn't have any problem with that, no one else should be concerned about it.
Salman further jokingly said that if Rashmika permits, he would even romance her daughter in future. The remark left the actress blushing and laughing. Sikandar is all set for a grand release on March 30.
