‘Salman Khan suggested me to lose weight as he looked forward to casting me in Dabangg,' reveals Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi Sinha, during her appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show with rapper Badshah, made a revelation on how she was offered her first film-Dabangg. The actress, who had come with Badshah for the promotion of their upcoming film Khandani Shafakhana said Salman Khan noticed her during a fashion show where she was working as an audience manager. She also added that Salman asked her to lose weight as he wanted to cast her in the film. Although acting was never on Sonakshi's mind, Salman showed faith in her. 

“I was at a fashion show working as an audience manager and Salman was sitting in the audience. He already knew that I was Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter and he came to me humbly and suggested me to lose weight as he looked forward to casting me in his movie,” Sonakshi told.

She further added, “I was extremely elated and seeing me excited, he jokingly asked me to treat him to celebrate this news but I only had Rs. 3000 in my wallet. Yes! Imagine the star asking for a treat and I was having only Rs. 3000 that too what I earned from that fashion show.”
