Famous television actress Sudha Chandran is recognized for her memorable roles in series such as Naagin, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Doree, and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, among others.

In a recent interview, the actress revealed details about various unknown subjects and shared her experiences in the industry for around 40 years.

What captured our interest was her sincere disclosure regarding Salman Khan and his support for her during her mother's battle with cancer.

Sudha engaged in a conversation with podcast host Siddharth Kannan, discussing various aspects of her life and professional journey.

When she was asked about her experience with Salman Khan, she responded, “That man is amazing" (joining her hands). I recall filming with him while my mother was in the hospital. He might not remember this, but we were sitting casually as I had lunch with my team when Salman’s assistant approached me and said, "Sir wants to speak with you." I replied "yes" and went. I asked Salman, sir, if something was wrong, to which Salman replied, “I heard your mother has cancer; do you need any help?”

Sudha remarked, “I asked, ‘Sir, how do you know my mother has cancer?’ and he answered, ‘That’s irrelevant; do you need help? If you do, just call, and I’ll be there for you. That is Salman bhai. I will always remember this; he might have forgotten it, but throughout his life, numerous people may have arrived, and he may have assisted many, but at that time, I found immense respect for him.”

Sudha stated that Salman’s success is due to the blessings from his parents, family, and supporters. She also mentioned he embodies the saying “Is hath ko deta hai to dusre hath ko na pata chale.” (One should not publicize while helping others). She noted that Salman portrays himself differently, as he is quite distinct in real life, and he possesses a heart of gold.

More recently, Sudha Chandran was trolled for her devotional dance, where she entered into a trance during Mata Ki Chowki. She reacted to the comments, saying she’s not here to justify her spiritual experience.
