Salman Khan is known for his nocturnal bike rides on his bike. Onlookers have spotted him in the wee hours zipping across Bandra. Newbie Jacqueline Fernandes, who makes her debut in Sujoy Ghosh's Alladin, has been spotted riding pillion with the actor.
What's interesting (and maybe Sallu is unaware of this) is that there was a buzz about Jacqueline and Vivek Oberoi (Salman's pet peeve!) being an item when they were spotted together at events last year.
After her link-up with the Oberoi boy, Jacqueline, found herself in a plum role in Alladin. Vivek featured in Sujoy's earlier film, Home Delivery. Buzz was that VO was promoting her and had put in a word for her.
Alladin stars Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Riteish Deshmukh.
Loving the attention
Says a source, "Jacqueline has been talking about her joyrides with Sallu to her friends. Both Bruna (see box) and Jacqueline love the attention the star showers on them. He is a big star and his recommendation would go a long way to bag projects in B-Town."
It is learnt that Salman has a special set of biking friends whom he calls at timings like 2 am and 4 am. He picks them up, takes them for a ride and then drops them home.
In the past, on several occasions, even Katrina Kaif has been spotted riding pillion with the actor.
Sal's other pal
The film also stars Brazilian bombshell Bruna Abdulla, a Channel [V] veejay. As reported 'What's Bru-ing (Hitlist, February 29) Salman was recommending Bruna's name in B-Town. The VJ had then maintained "Salman and I are friends." Bruna featured in Shekhar Suman's album Kuch Khwaab Aise and also an item song in Anubhav Sinha's Cash.
