Fans and stars are a part of the social fabric of the film industry. Maheshi Pandya, a young fan of Salman Khan, hand painted the poster of the actor's Bajrangi Bhaijaan, a family entertainer that is releasing this Eid.

The poster features the principal cast of the film - Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Maheshi reached out to the makers requesting them to arrange a meeting with the star. She wanted to present the poster to him personally and he agreed. Salman marvelled at the talent of this young girl and he even chatted her up about her special skill, more so because he is a painter himself.

Moonstruck by Salman, the young Maheshi said, "It was a fantastic experience to meet Salman sir. It's my dream come true. He encouraged me to follow my passion."

The actor also thanked the young artist for the love and support she has given this film.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan produced by Salman Khan Films and Rockline Venkatesh; released worldwide by Eros International, releases July 17.
