Here's How Salman Khan Chose to Protect 'Close' Friend Elli Avram

Salman Khan is known for large-heartedness, and is almost always there when needed.

After giving "Jai Ho" co-star Daisy Shah's career a much-needed push, the superstar appointed bodyguards for 'close' friend Elli Avram.

According to a Hindustan Times report, Salman recently appointed a team of bodyguards to keep Elli safe. However, this isn't the first time that he has come to her rescue. After "Bigg Boss 7", he had made arrangements for her to stay at his farmhouse in Panvel.

"He has found her a place to stay in Bandra so that she can be accessible to producers, and plan her future projects with them. He has even appointed a team of bodyguards for her safety," an industry source told HT.

However, this isn't the first time that the actor has gone out of his way to make newcomers comfortable in the industry. Sneha Ullal, Zarine Khan, Daisy and Elli are some of the many actresses he has guided.

"After my debut film 'Lucky -No Time for Love' I and Salman have been in touch. I was too naive when I did that film. Now that I have done couple of films in South, I am ready to come back here. Its lately that he has been guiding me for it (comeback)," Ullal told PTI last year.

And it doesn't end there, the "Kick" star also gave her a strict gym regime to follow advising that showbiz requires one to look good.

In other news, Salman will be next seen in Kabir Khan's "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sooraj Barjatya's "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" with Sonam Kapoor. Also, he will soon begin with YRF's "Sultan" and Karan Johar's "Shuddhi".
