Also, Prahlad used to ask me to model whenever a model didn't turn up for the shoot on time! But those days were really fun. I truly enjoyed my internship days.”

She further added, “One day I was in one of the studios in Bandra and my friend Bunty, who was a filmmaker I knew him because I had done a few advertisements with him, asked if I was in Bandra. I said yes. To that he said, ‘come outside, Salman (Khan) and I are passing by, just say hi to us’.”

Along with revealing how she met Salman through a mutual friend, the actress also spoke about how Salman was looking for a heroine for a new film produced by the late GP Sippy i.e Patthar Ke Phool. Talking about the same, she said, “I remember my friends were more excited that my co-actor is Salman Khan and they encouraged me to go ahead. So, that was how my journey of being a film actress begun.”
