The Bollywood star opened up about how people judged his personal life and relationships following his debut film Maine Pyar Kiya. Salman explained that even after just one episode of Dus Ka Dum, the negative perception he had in the media began to change. He recalled the difficult phase after Maine Pyaar Kiya when there was a lot of negativity surrounding him, including court cases, relationship issues, and controversial pictures. Initially, Salman was skeptical about doing Dus Ka Dum due to the negative attention, but his father Salim Khan advised him to be true to himself. Following his father's advice, Salman revealed that Dus Ka Dum helped people understand his personality better and see him as a person rather than just an actor. The show allowed him to connect with the audience on a deeper level, ultimately clearing his image in the media.",
