In a talk show, Salman Khan revealed that his attempts to impress a girl got him a commercial for a soft drink brand. The actor said that he was swimming one day at the Sea Rock club and he saw this really beautiful, young lady walking past in a red sari. To impress her, he dived in the water and being such an idiot, he swam the whole length underwater. So when he came out on the other side, she was not there.
