Salman Khan's protégé Zaheer Iqbal, who is all set to make his acting debut with Notebook, has taken his 11-year-old co-star Mehroos Ahmed under his wings. The aspiring actor met the Kashmir local kid in September during an acting workshop in the Valley of Kashmir.

Talking about his little co-star Zaheer proudly said, "Mehroos is one of the smartest people I have met, he even helped the film's team manage the other kids on the sets. Once, he picked up spare juice boxes and hid them under a table to ensure that the crew didn't waste it".
