In the bustling heart of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, a busy vegetable vendor named Salman Khan found himself face-to-face with DSP Santosh Patel, a distinguished police officer. Salman was initially nervous but the initial fear quickly turned into joy & his face lit up with a warm smile when he recognized the innocent smile on his long-lost friend's face. The two men embraced, reliving cherished memories of their past.

A decade and a half ago, when Patel was a struggling engineering student, Khan extended a helping hand. During those hard times, when the future seemed uncertain, Khan's generosity provided more than just sustenance. He offered empathy, understanding, and a sense of belonging to a boy who was not so sure about his future. 

‘He saved a brinjal and a tomato for me every night’.

The DSP also wrote, “I met Salman Khan during my engineering studies in Bhopal. This was the phase when I couldn’t even afford dinner sometimes. But Salman was the one friend, who ran a vegetable shop and used to give me his vegetables for free. Every night he took out a brinjal and a tomato from his stock, only for me and I cooked Baingan ka Bharta and relished it!”

Fast forward to the present, Patel's life had taken a remarkable turn. He had risen through the ranks of the police force, earning respect and admiration. Yet, he didn't forget about his family's humble beginnings and his determination to break free from the cycle of poverty. It was during this time that Khan's kindness made a significant impact on his life. The memory of Khan's kindness remained etched in his heart. A chance encounter, facilitated by social media, brought the two friends together once again.
