Mumbai: Singer Mohit Chauhan’s special tribute to veteran screenwriter Salim Khan left Salman Khan visibly emotional on the latest episode of ‘Bigg Boss 20’.
The actor struggled to hold back tears as Chauhan paid homage to his father through a song.
In the latest promo, Mohit Chauhan reveals that although he is a huge Salman Khan fan, he admires his father, Salim Khan, even more.
“I’m a huge fan of yours,” he told Salman, who responded with a gracious thank-you.
Expressing his admiration for Salim Khan, Mohit further added, “But I’m an even bigger fan of your father.”
Mohit then dedicated a rendition of ‘Mujhe Tumse Mohabbat Hai, Magar Main Keh Nahi Sakta’ from the 1963 film Bachpan.
