Mumbai, March 9 (NationPress) Singer and Bollywood figure Iulia Vantur shared touching, previously unseen photographs featuring her dear friend and Bollywood icon Salman Khan's mother, Salma Khan, legendary actress Helen, and his niece Ayat Sharma on the occasion of International Women's Day.

On March 8, Iulia, who is frequently linked with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, took to social media to post a series of images celebrating Salma Khan, Helen, little Ayat, and her own mother. She expressed that they have inspired her to 'live with courage, compassion, and kindness.'

In her post, she stated, “Behind every strong person is a stronger woman who raised them. I’m a fortunate daughter, and from them, I have learned how to live with courage, kindness, compassion, and strength. Happy Women’s Day to the remarkable women who made me who I am (sic).”

The first image captures Iulia affectionately leaning towards Salma Khan, who is seated on a couch, both smiling brightly for the camera.

In another photo, Iulia is seen alongside Ayat and veteran actress Helen, all three beaming at the camera.

Iulia also posted a heartwarming picture with her own mother, showcasing their smiles and embrace.

For those unaware, Iulia and Salman Khan have been the subject of dating speculation for several years, although neither has publicly acknowledged their relationship.

Previously, Iulia Vantur had disclosed the best advice she received from Salman Khan.

In an exclusive chat with IANS, Iulia shared that Salman encouraged her to simply be herself.

When asked about the most valuable guidance she received from him, Iulia mentioned, “I think the best advice he ever gave me is to 'Just be yourself, don't overdo it, just be there and stay true to yourself', because that authenticity will resonate with the audience.”

When questioned about a potential collaboration with Salman in the near future, Iulia responded with a lighthearted “No.”

She elaborated, “I admire his work and respect his contributions. He has created a legacy over 35 years that has opened doors for many artists. However, I feel that every time he attempts to assist someone, there are those who might oppose it, and I have no intention of exploiting anyone.”

She added, “I am not here to leverage any connections. I aim to develop beautiful projects based on my own creativity and talent. I focus on building my own identity.”
