Both live in one room apartments:
Salman could choose to live in a bungalow or entire building if he wished to, but he still lives in his humble one room apartment in the same building as his father, Galaxy apartments. Sooraj too owns a bungalow in Juhu, but he chooses to stay in a one room apartment just adjacent to it.
Both have been to the same school:
Both Salman and Sooraj went to St. Stanislaus High School in Bandra.
Both are romantic:
Sooraj loves to be in love. His mentor too has always been in love.
Both eat their meals at home with their parents:
Salim Khan has an open house where the food is always laid out for his family and any number of guests that come into his house at any point during lunch or dinner 365 days.If Salman is not shooting or out with friends, he will eat his meals sitting on a dining table with his parents. Same for Sooraj. Come what may, while he stays alone in Juhu, away from his parents who stay in Versova, they all come together to his grandparents' bungalow in Juhu for dinner every day.
Both love their parents:
Salman is famous for loving his parents. His protege too has an equally expressive relationship with his parents. Both Salman and Sooraj can find their solace in just hugging one of their parents. Only time can tell, how big a star Sooraj can be, but as of now, Salman Khan has left no stone unturned to make that happen.
