How has your journey from a nimble-footed background dancer to a full-fledged actor? I would just say that it has been a roller coaster ride and the journey has just begun and the best part about it has been learning new things. I have been in the industry for long but I never knew the dos and dont’s’ of different things and with time I have learnt that. And that is something which has helped me transform from a nimble-footed dancer to an actor today.

You’ ve been associated with Salman Khan for quite some time now. How has the journey with him been?

I would say I am the luckiest girl as not everyone gets the support of one of the biggest superstars of the country. I am so fortunate that I have Salman Khan who is so supportive and he looks after me, advices me, and is my mentor. I am thankful to him.

So have you taught him any of your dance moves?

The thing is that there’s this personality that Salman Khan has, no matter what dance you show him, he’ll add his personality to it. And it doesn’t remain a dance step, it becomes a Salman Khan step!

Can you tell us three things about Salman that nobody knows.

See, if I tell you those things, it won’t remain a secret any more, right? And everyone knows everything, and anyway Salman’s life has been an open book. People know everything about him, be it where he is going, to what he is doing. The amount of fans that he has and the kind of love that he gets from them is amazing. I am pretty sure everybody knows what Salman Khan is. So I wouldn’t like to spill the secrets or the three things that I know.
