Mumbai: Salman Khan is not called magnanimous for no reason! The ‘Dabangg’ Khan has been instrumental in either building or resurrecting careers of a number of his colleagues in the industry. And the latest beneficiary is TV actress Mouni Roy, reports suggest.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, ‘Sultan’ has apparently taken Indian TV’s favourite ‘Naagin’, Mouni, under his wings! She had made a couple of appearances on ‘Bigg Boss’ 10, a show hosted by the Bollywood superstar. And he believed she was talented enough to get a bigger opportunity.

As a result, Mouni bagged Reema Kagti’s film titled ‘Gold’ opposite none other than Akshay Kumar. A few days ago, her pictures from the sets of the film had surfaced online!

“He has seen Mouni’s work and felt she deserved a big Bollywood break. It is he who spoke to someone from the unit of Gold and got her an audition. Of course, Mouni did well, subsequently bagging the part,” Mirror quoted a source as saying.

Well, Mouni has indeed struck ‘Gold’!
