The set of one’s debut film can evoke mixed feelings. While there is the joy of facing the camera for the first time, a sense of nervousness creeps in too. Fortunately, Palak Tiwari felt at home on the set of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. The idea of shooting with Salman Khan may have been daunting initially, but she says the superstar created a healthy environment to “nurture” the artistes. “He is one of the pillars of Bollywood. I assumed that being on the same set with him would be daunting, and that I would be nervous all the time. But he is like a father on the set,” she states.

Palak, who is the daughter of television actor Shweta Tiwari, says Khan made sure that the cast — including Venkatesh, Pooja Hegde, and Shehnaaz Gill — had meals together on time. “He ensured that we are well-fed, and that we also follow our diet,” she laughs.
