Salman is my hero in reel and real life: Daisy Shah

I regret only about one thing and that was saying no to Salman. I think whether you work with Salman or not, his presence in your life is more than enough. In that way, I felt I lost out on him. I look at him as a hero, as my hero in real and in reel life.

I am fond of him, I am romancing him (in the film),” Daisy told. Daisy was offered to play Kareena Kapoor Khan’s best friend in ‘Bodyguard’, but the role did not excite her. “I was not convinced with the part that I was offered to play.

I was shooting for a south film and dates were also a problem. I couldn’t put that project on hold, I had to concentrate on one thing, I chose to do south film,” she said. But it took her sometime to explain to Salman the reason for saying no.

“I took time to give an answer to him. I was preparing myself for 7-8 days how to say no to him. I feel anything done half heartedly is a waste,” she said. When she rejected the role, Salman just said ok, but did not take it well. She said during the shooting of ‘Jai Ho’, Salman said he was angry with her for not doing the role.

Daisy was one of the background dancers in Salman’s ‘Maine Pyaar Kyu Kiya’ and he noticed her once and asked her if she would like to get into acting.
