Superstar Salman Khan is known for helping new talents find their footing in B-town, and he is at it yet again. This time, it is British model Hazel (not to be confused with the actress of Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar fame) who he has taken under his wing.

In Atul Agnihotri's upcoming film Bodyguard, Hazel will be seen playing Kareena Kapoor's college friend. O

n the sets, Salman has been spotted giving Hazel career tips and helping her become familiar with the industry. Though Hazel has a heavy British accent making her transition to B-town quite an effort, sources say her personality gels well with Salman's and as a result, there appears to be a comfortable rapport between the superstar and the starlet-in-the-making.

Much to the surprise of her new co-stars, Hazel turned out to be quite a rough-and-tumble tomboy. Out of all the interests the newcomer could have, dirt bikes is one of them. The air is abuzz with tales of Salman and Hazel riding a bike together from the sets to their hotel, though when asked about it Hazel claimed that Salman was simply teaching her how to ride.

Only time will tell whether Sallu's lessons in stardom will pay off, but if nothing else comes of her B-town experience, she did learn how to ride that bike!
