Salman Khan is known for praising anyone who holds his attention with their talent. This time, he took to X (formerly Twitter) and lauded 15-year-old Spotify sensation Jonas Conner, who is known for writing very emotionally raw songs, often touching on addiction, loss, and grief. In the wee hours of Sunday, September 14, Bollywood's Bhaijaan posted a photo of Conner and listed some of his favourite songs.
Salman Khan expressed his fondness for Jonas Conner's songs and wrote, "Never have I seen a 15 year old turn his pain into something so beautiful. God bless you #JonasConner." The superstar then mentioned that he has been listening to three of his songs on repeat, titled Father In A Bible, Peace With Pain and Oh Appalachia. The three songs are a top trend on the music streaming platform.
Salman continued in his note, "Aisey bacchon ko Na support kiya toh phir kya kiya. Bhaiyon aur behno ye English mein hai. Yahan par bhi aisey bohot hain. Unhe encourage karo exploit nahi (If we don't support kids like this, then what's the point? Brothers and sisters, this is in English. There are many like them here too. Encourage them -- don't exploit them)." Take a look at the post here:
