Salman Khan loves to play matchmaker. The actor is very close to Rajasthan Tourism Minister Beena Kak and has grown close to her entire family over the years.

He is very protective about her daughter Amrita, who he treats like a younger sister. He even took the responsibility of finding a suitable groom for her. Salman finally zeroed on a dulha, and the wedding will happen on an auspicious day this summer.

The actor has given Amrita, a trained singer, a break in some of his films. One of her better known songs are Just Chill (Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya) and Tujhe Aqsa Beach Ghumau (God… Tussi Great Ho).
Family guy
The actor, who campaigned aggressively for Beena this year during the state elections, introduced Amrita to a prospective groom last year and they instantly clicked. A source reveals, “This will be the second wedding in the Kak family this year. Last week, Salman was in Jaipur for the wedding of Beena’s son Ankur. He danced in the baraat, and was present at all the important rituals.”
The source continues, “Salman is extremely private about his relationship with the Kak family and doesn’t want to talk about Amrita’s wedding.”
