Sonakshi Sinha on her co-star
In a recent interview with an online portal, Sonakshi opened up about her equation with Salman Khan. She revealed that acting happened to her due to Salman's insistence. She said that once Salman Khan spotted Sonakshi Sinha working at a fashion event. She told Salman that she worked there and earned ₹ 3000.
Sonakshi Sinha recalled how Salman asked her to take him out for dinner with her first salary. She said that from then on Salman Khan constantly kept on telling her to get into Bollywood as he believed that she had the “acting keeda” in her. Salman reportedly asked Sonakshi to lose weight and groom herself up to fit in the industry.
Sonakshi revealed that one day the entire team of Dabangg showed up at Sonakshi’s house. They read the script and shook hands to seal the deal. Sonakshi said that she was very clueless during the entire time. But once she reached the set and started shooting, it felt like a ‘fish getting into the water’.
In the same interview, Sonakshi also revealed that going back to the Dabangg set is like going home to her. The entire cast and team of Dabangg is like family to her because that is where it all started. She also credited her entire career to Dabangg. She said that it will always be the most special film in her entire career.
