According to IMDb, Salman Khan did not receive "much respect" on the sets of Maine Pyar Kiya from assistants. As he would complete a scene, nobody would pull a chair for him. After noticing the same, Salman told Mohnish Behl, who was also a part of the movie, that a day would come when the chair would come automatically to him, and the rest is history. The film established Salman Khan as the leading romantic hero of Bollywood.
