Salman Khan has saved his co-star Bunny Anand from being crushed by galloping horses.

The actors were filming a train robbery sequence for Veer which required them to ride the animals along train tracks.

Anand lost his balance and would have been crushed by the horses behind him, if Khan had not reached out to save him.

A source told the Mumbai Mirror: "Salman immediately realised that Bunny would seriously hurt himself. He grabbed Bunny by his collar and pulled him up.

"If Salman had acted even a fraction of a second late, Bunny would have not only fallen off his horse but also would have been crushed to death by the horses that were running at breakneck speed behind them."

The actor confirmed the news: "Salman bhai saved my life. I don’t know how to repay him."
