Meet actress who made her debut with Salman Khan, never became a star, was trolled for..., is the daughter of Bollywood's famous..., she is...

There are many actors in Bollywood who left a lasting impact on the audience and now, despite being in the industry for over two decades, are remembered for some of their iconic characters. One such figure in Bollywood is Mahesh Manjrekar, who is still remembered for roles like Inspector Daya Nayak in Kurukshetra, Zafar Bhai in Slumdog Millionaire, Raj Yadav aka Rajbhai in Dabangg, and more. Just like Mahesh, his daughter Saiee Manjrekar is also making heads turn after she made her debut in 2019 with Dabangg 3.
Saiee made her dream debut with Salman Khan and romanced the actor double her age. Sadly, her debut film opposite Salman Khan — a sequel to the blockbuster franchise — failed to recreate the magic of its predecessors. She also faced heavy trolling for romancing Salman, who is 37 years her senior.
Though the movie did not work well, it did bring Saiee some fame. She was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her performance.
Meanwhile, following her debut, Saiee faced major backlash due to the age difference. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Saiee revealed that she stayed off social media for six months following the film's release.
'I was oblivious to that discussion because that was the time I had just started, and I had no management, no PR, so I was unaware of all this. I was just happy to see myself on the big screen,' she said.
Later in 2022, she worked in two films — Ghani and Major. Saiee has worked in Marathi, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu cinema.
Saiee also featured in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, which starred Ajay Devgn and Tabu in lead roles. Apart from films, Saiee has also been a part of a music video called Manjha, with Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma. It was sung by Vishal Mishra.

In a candid conversation on SCREEN's Dear Me…. he also addressed the topic of nepotism, offering a grounded view as a star kid, and shared a key piece of advice he once received from Abhishek Bachchan—urging him to stay focused and not get distracted by comparisons. Advice from Abhishek Bachchan helped him stay strong Speaking about coping with the backlash after his debut film Jimmy (2008) flopped, Mimoh recalled a motivating conversation with Abhishek Bachchan. He shared that Abhishek, who had also faced criticism early in his career, encouraged him to stay resilient and keep believing in himself. That advice, Mimoh said, helped him view negativity as a stepping stone rather than a setback.

He described being awestruck by Salman's presence—dressed in a white T-shirt and bandana—and remembered how the actor was sitting in his father Mithun Chakraborty's office when they were introduced. Mimoh, who was a child at the time, asked his dad to click a photo of him with Salman using a Polaroid camera. The next day, he proudly showed the picture to everyone at school. Mimoh said he has always cherished the warmth and support Salman has shown him over the years. Playing video games with Shah Rukh Khan Mimoh also recalled how SRK played games with him on his computer during the shooting of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. He said, 'Even with SRK… they were shooting for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and staying in our Monarch Hotel. Imagine King Khan coming to our room! He was sitting with Dad, and then he opened my PC to play Flight Simulator with me and my brother Rimo. Both of us were looking at each other and thinking, 'King Khan was sitting with us!' He was so nice. ' 'I'm the poster boy of anti-nepotism ' Addressing the ongoing debate around nepotism, Chakraborty shared his perspective, saying that being a star kid doesn't guarantee success. He acknowledged that while children from film families are naturally drawn to the industry due to early exposure, it doesn't translate into privileges beyond familiarity. 'People like Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan may know me because of my father, but they don't owe me anything,' he explained. Mimoh emphasized that opportunities might come, but it's talent, hard work, and destiny that truly shape a career. Rejecting the term 'star kid' as a label, he called himself the 'poster boy of anti-nepotism,' and stressed that while everyone deserves a chance, sustaining in the industry is entirely up to individual merit.

From Nargis Fakhri to Jacqueline Fernandez, there are many Bollywood divas who, despite being from a different nation, have established themselves in the industry. Today, we will discuss an actress who was once thrown out of a film set because she did not know how to speak Hindi. Yes, you read that right! But destiny played its part, and this actress became one of the hit heroines of Bollywood. Actress Who Was Thrown Out of Movie Sets The actress we are discussing has shared the screen with Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, and more. However, do you know that there was a time when no director wanted to cast her because she did not know Hindi? Yes, we are talking about none other than Katrina Kaif. Katrina Kaif is a British actress. She was born in British Hong Kong and lived in several countries before moving to London, where she spent three years. In 2003, she made her debut with the film Boom. Katrina was cast as a last-minute replacement for another model, Meghna Reddy. After her debut movie, Katrina faced many issues, especially related to her Hindi. She also auditioned for the film Saaya, but the director of the movie, Mahesh Bhatt, was not happy with Kat's audition. Due to her non-fluent Hindi, Mahesh sent her out of the set on the first day of the shoot. After this incident, Katrina decided that she would work on herself and make a name for herself in films. Meanwhile, she met Salman Khan. Then Salman offered her Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, and from there Katrina's journey to becoming a superstar began. Very few people know that Katrina participated in a beauty contest at the age of just 14 and won it. After this, she modeled for a jewelry brand, and from here her modeling journey started.

Salman Khan shares advice he got from father Salim Khan

Last Updated: New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) Bollywood star Salman Khan shared a piece of advice his father and legendary scriptwriter Salim Khan gave him and said he regrets not knowing it before. Salman posted a picture of himself on his Instagram handle on Saturday and attached a lengthy caption along. The post featured him sporting his signature Being Human t-shirt. Remembering his father's words, the actor said someone can't make a person do anything if one doesn't wants to.

The 59-year-old actor said he wished he had heard it earlier, but it's never too late. 'My dad just said this to me, it's so true. Kash (I wish) I heard this earlier but never too late," he concluded. It also featured 'Pushpa: The Rise" star Rashmika Mandanna.
