Salman recommended Mahek's name for Bigg Boss

Circa 2007, with a forgettable role in Nayee Padosan and an item number in Chameli under her belt, Mahek Chahal's career was not really the talk of the town. Enter Salman Khan, and her name was being recommended to filmmakers across the industry. Needless to say, the girl soon warmed up to her knight in shining armour.

Cut to 2011, Mahek sitting with her family in Norway gets a call from Bigg Boss season 5. Interestingly, sources from the industry reveal that this time too, it was the same Knight who helped get her out of Norway.

A source told Mumbai Mirror, "Mahek was very disappointed with the way that Bollywood treated her. She felt that she deserved a better deal and moved back to Norway. Salman was still in touch with her. In fact it was he who recommended her name to the producers of Bigg Boss."

"Bigg Boss 5 is definitely a big ticket for Mahek. She could become a household name. Salman obviously informed Mahek asked whether she was interested in joining the show. Mahek knew that Salman ne kaha hai toh zaroor ho jayega," added the source.

Added the source, "When Mahek got the call from the channel she already had her bags packed to enter the Bigg Boss 5 house. She has come in very confidently. Salman is backing her to the hilt."
