Salman Khan gave me interview first because I am Pakistani, says Anoushey Ashraf

Renowned VJ and host Anoushey Ashraf has revealed details about a meeting she once had with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, where he gave her an interview before anyone else when he found out she is from Pakistan.

Anoushey recently appeared on a private channel's tv show where she discussed her career, changing media landscapes, and her experience meeting Salman Khan.

Talking about the rise and fall of music channels in Pakistan, she said, "With music channels, job opportunities were also created in Pakistan. However, many people became unemployed due to their closure."

Regarding the impact of the shift, she stated, "It was a difficult time for all of us. The closure of music channels affected many artists' businesses and reduced their popularity." However, she added that technology and social media are reviving the music industry.
Expressing her passion for the horror genre, she shared, "I love scary movies, and if given the opportunity, I would love to work in a horror drama or film."

She also recalled her memorable experience interviewing Salman Khan during a visit to India.

"Interviewing Salman Khan was the best experience of my life," she said.

She revealed that she and her team had requested Salman Khan’s team for an interview and went to his shooting location. "A 100 people were waiting for the interview, but when Salman Khan found out we were from Pakistan, he gave us the interview first," she said.

According to Anoushey, Salman Khan welcomed them warmly and said, 'You have come from Pakistan, so you are our guests.'"
Speaking about marriage, she emphasized, "Marriage should be done with great thought and after truly understanding the other person."
