While Salman Khan is widely known as the "universal bhai" in the film industry, his softer side emerges when he is around his nephews and nieces. Ayaan Agnihotri, son of Alvira and Atul Agnihotri, recently opened up about his relationship with the superstar during an interview.

Ayaan, who also goes by the stage name Agni, described Salman as “loving and funny,” emphasising his unique approach to balancing affection and discipline with the younger generation of the Khan family.

Ayaan spoke fondly of how Salman, despite his larger-than-life persona, is always the first to guide them when needed.

While talking to India Today, he mentioned "It's a beautiful balance of all love and also being tough. He has never let us feel that we have got it easy." Salman, according to Ayaan, has always made sure the younger family members understand that success is not guaranteed simply because of their family name. "He did not let it get in our heads that things would be easy for us because other members of the family worked hard and made it," Ayaan shared.
