Although Salman Khan’s birthday is over a month away (December 27), plans are already afoot to celebrate it.A former world flyweight kickboxing champion Ali Jacko, who hails from the UK, will fly down to meet him on his birthday and surprise him with his music video.
Jacko has recorded and is set to release his first single Give My Love A Brand New Name and is looking forward to see Salman’s response to his first attempt at singing and act in the video. Says a source, “Ali met the actor years ago and they’ve been friends for ages. He wants him in his next video if Salman likes the current one he has just uploaded on YouTube.”
Ali Jacko reveals that Salman has been one of his biggest supporters right from his initial days as a kickboxer. Salman had even flown to the UK to see him win his title.
Ali adds, “Salman is one of the most amazing people I have ever known and is an equally wonderful human being. Our friendship is beyond all these professional endeavours. So, yes I hope that he would support me, but I don’t want his support as a favour for a friend. Instead I want him to support me for my talent.”
He adds, “I am sure all my B-Town friends will be surprised to see or rather, hear me sing. I am eager to see how they react to my song. I had never planned to be a singer. Forget a karaoke, I have never ever sung even in the bathroom. My family can’t believe that I have sung either. So I took it up as a challenge and immediately hired a vocal trainer. It took months of hard work, but I did it and the result is this song.”
