Had it not been for Salman Khan's presence of mind, actor Bunny Anand, who co-stars with him in Vijay Galani’s forthcoming film Veer, wouldn’t have been alive.

While shooting for a train robbery sequence for Veer in Rajasthan, actors Bunny and Vicky Mehra were riding horses and Salman was to balance himself keeping one leg each of the two horses. Besides, the three actors, there were others who were also riding horses with a train fast approaching on their left.

Bunny accidentally lost his balance and was about to fall off the horse. A source was quoted as telling a daily, “Salman immediately realised that Bunny would seriously hurt himself. He grabbed Bunny by his collar and pulled him up. If Salman had acted even a fraction of a second late, Bunny would have not only fallen off his horse but also would have been crushed to death by the horses that were running at breakneck speed behind them.”

The grateful Bunny thanked Sallu and said, “Salman bhai saved my life. I don’t know how to repay him.”
