According to Mr Vinod Kumar Gupta, Managing Director, Bhawani Textiles, a Kolkata-based firm, "Our products stand for comfort, quality and elegance. So Salman Khan is the right person to promote our products and reflect the qualities we endorse."

Answering a question on why he would endorse an undergarment brand, Mr Khan said that there were three kinds of products he was hoping to endorse — vests, bicycles and razors. He added that Dollar vests appealed to him and he even had the cut reworked to suit him.
