"Entry Mil Gayi Hai Bollywood...": Shehnaaz Gill's Big Statement Ahead Of 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' Release
Salman Khan-starrer 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' will release in theatres on Friday.
When Shehnaaz Gill had made an appearance in 'Bigg Boss 13', she would not have expected that a day would come when she would star in a movie alongside superstar Salman Khan. However, the day has come, as 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' will release in the theatres on Friday. Ahead of the release, Shehnaaz Gill spoke to The Indian Express, saying she is not under any delusion that just being launched by Salman Khan would make her a rising star.
“My journey is in my hands. It is on me how much I want to work on myself, what do I really want to do in life, the kind of characters I want to play. I have a long way to go. I will get films if I work hard on myself. Not that Salman sir has given me an entry, so everything is sorted. It is completely a lie if people believe that entry mil gayi hai Bollywood mein toh ab ye rising star," Shehnaaz Gill said.
“I wish I continue like this, but I am aware I have to work hard. It isn’t that I got a start with sir, got a Bollywood film and now offers will keep flowing. Today, talent is appreciated, and only talented people get opportunities. The world has become smarter today,” she added.
For the unversed, Shehnaaz had first started her career as a model and then she did some Punjabi movies as well. However, the biggest turning point in her career came when she made an appearance in Salman Khan-hosted show 'Bigg Boss'.
“I had told Salman sir, in the first week itself, that I don’t want the trophy, I just want to work with him in his film. Maybe he remembered that. When I look back, I feel destiny can change anytime. How foolish is it to call someone on set and then reject them. If you want to reject, do it before, not when the person is already there. They said, ‘Oh she is a kid, how can we take her.’ It hurt me. Now when they would listen to this… Main haath nahi aani, ab toh main bohot badi hogayi hu, apni nazron mein (I have become big in my own eyes). Today I feel rejections should be accepted, it’s ok," said Shehnaaz.
“If I had not gone to the show, you wouldn’t be interviewing me either. That show gave me a huge platform and my reality has made me who I am. Through the show, I also got to know a lot about myself, that this is how I react. You do learn a lot. The love wasn’t overnight. I worked really hard. I was on Bigg Boss for four months, and people connected with my reality. It’s really hard to live in that house, you do really get tortured there. I was fortunate that people liked me, my reality," she added.
