Filmmaker Farah Khan has found a new best friend in Salman Khan. So much so, she considers Salman to be her lucky mascot!

Mutual benefit
Farah says, "Salman and I have appeared on each other's TV shows more than seven times (Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Dus Ka Dum, Big Boss, Tere Mere Beach Mein, Dance India Dance and a couple more).

While the films Salman promoted on my shows (Wanted and Dabangg) went on to become superhits, he has been my lucky mascot as my team does very well whenever he comes. We are lucky for each other."

Last week, Salman and Farah met up for the eighth time on Sony TV's Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, where Farah is a judge along with Anu Malik.

Three's a charm

Reveals Farah, "This is the third year in a row that he's come on the show. Salman had come to promote Ready and bought home-cooked khaana (mutton curry and rajma-chaawal) for all of us.

I have not seen Salman dance like that in ages! He made Anu Malik do Bharat Natyam. There were some very talented people including a guy eating rasagullas and dancing at the same time.

There was a four-year-old Sardar boy who made Salman dance to Dhinka chika from Ready and knew all his films' dialogues by heart. Salman loved him and hit the floor with him."
