I remember my mom coming to me after watching she was there when I shot my
scene coming to me to be each other you're different infront of the camera I was
like what do you mean you're different infront of the camera I think even luck
the factor with me so when that happened that have why when you say that because I consider
myself very lucky to get this opportunity i've been so overwhelmed with
this experience beautiful experience i am just triyng to take it all in and you
know keep it and treasure it forever marking her entry into the showbiz is
Mahesh Manjrekar's daughter Siaiee Manjrekar with Dabangg 3 of course
wlcome to Pinkvilla first of all thank you no thanks to you all and tell us like you know it seems
surreal to me when I saw you first on screen at the trailer launch it looked
like wow that was though that was my reaction when I saw you how did your
parents react when they saw you for the first time and the trailer I think they
came to me and they said we're proud of you which is the very special
you know they've grown you and they've made you the person that you are so when
they come and say you know I'm proud of you
that was a very special feeling right and when you saw yourself for the first
time how what did you think about yourself so that obviously happened when
I was a phase I I kind of grew in myself but most friend when I was watching
myself or just watching my parents on either side thinking wanna be thinking
like a good hmm as long as they like I'm good it this is good I don't care how I
look how I feel I look heel is what up are you embracing you know all the
phrases and everything that is to come because all along with that there will
be obviously a section of people will be like oh Mahesh Manjrekar ki daughter hai
isiliye mil gaya role you know because it's a dream debut for anyway is something that I
had not even dreamed of when it happened to me but I feel like I can have said
this before that with being a public figure they come with a lot of exposure
which is also very important of course but with that expose you come to certain
Center some vulnerability which I will have to deal with and again the
affection the love and the trolling is part of that it's part and parcel of that
vulnerability so I would have to deal with that I think
on my own time and pace and get used to it but me as long as I have people to
support me like my parents Oh Salman sir any for my friends my family I think I
will be able to deal with all of it and we grounded and be humble because that
is what my parents would love me to be as a in retrospect now that you've seen
movie have you seen the movie by the way you must have seen rushes a few rushes
yes right in retrospect now do you feel this was
the debut you had ever thought off would you want it would you have wanted
it differently would want nothing to be different about this everything about
this debut with everything I ever dreamed of I think actually I wouldn't
even dream of it to my wildest dreams around here something so perfect for me
hmm I as a person wouldn't have wanted anything other than this so how did you
happen like how did Salman Khan 0 on Saiee to be his heroine in this movie so if you
see who khushi's character in the film it's very innocent and very sweet and I
think he saw that same innocence and that sweetness that bhola pan we call
it him in me as a person which touch wood thank God he didn't come home
and see me come here mischief monster that I am
but he saw in me and I think that's when he thought of me for this role he
do you recollect the time we told you that you know what saiee let's do this
movie or did you audition for it screen test yes I think I have a very vivid memory when i got a call saying you are doing it,
its a very sweet memory sort of where i started played hood hood dabangg
and i started dancing infront of the mirror and i got so many gifts and all the gifts were
the food ok I think I got a cake I got some chocolates I got some mithai and all
is that what you wanna do but yeah yeah when you first met him on the set
you have known Salman for the longest time right but as an actor as a friend
as your father's friend very close friend but to have him to know him as a
co-star how different was that it was a very
great learning experience actually because he's so experienced and he knows
the ropes so well that even you know even observing him on set you would
take back so many things that you know it so it was a great learning experience
for me also it was really inspiring to watch him work so hard and you know be
so patient because it kind of you know looks like a vision for me to see where
I has to be and how hard after work to get it right but on the first day
perhaps you know because it's been your dream right to be there did you at any
point feel vulnerable because you don't have anyone around to because right now
you're a professional you're working as a professional and the entire course is
very different so in fact I remember my mom coming to me after watching she was
there when I shot my first scene coming to me to be each other you're different infront of the camera I was
the camera I was like what do you mean you're different infront to the camera
because normally even though I say that I'm mischievous and I'm a chatterbox
or whatever I take time to open up which I didn't in front of the camera I was fine
you doesn't understand why I was because I think in my mental space also
i was like this is your make it or break it you can't mess up here
like this is your career this means if we serious about this though I think
when that was happening in my head the nervousness is sort of died down in the
excitement took over and our neck this this is it I'm sure this is wait wait
wait Salman has seen the entire industry for like more close to 40 years right
did he give you any advice as to because he has seen the ups and the downs but
everything in fact you know did he give you a piece of advice as to how to deal
with everything that is to come once the Dabangg releases he's only he's
always told me to work hard actually that's the most useful advice he has
ever given me the right when you're young your reckless also
right and I think even luck played the factor with me when that have why would
you say that because I consider myself very lucky to get this opportunity
honestly even though I know that I work hard to get it I think luck is a huge
factor is a huge opportunity for me right so when that happens I think hard
work sort of fizzles out but when somebody is there reminding you to work
hard mean that inspirational that motivation comes to work you know
Saiee moving on on Sonakshi Sinha who also co-stars with you in the third film
she also made her debut with the Dabangg and she has only grown since then
did she share peace of advisers too because she's been in the same place as
you at one point she told me you know cherish every moment of this have fun
and just live in the moment it's honestly it's been a crazy crazily
amazing journey and I also remember this one time I think was trailer launch and
we'd walked into her room with a lot of people and I wasn't used to it again I
went on stage with her and she just held my hand which was so reassuring to me
and she's a gem of a person honestly so anything from her I will keep in mind you know Saiee
another thing is that you are also debuting at the time when so many star
kids have just debuted right do you feel the pressure to stand out because
obviously people are going to compare and specially because yeah sure as they
have a sense of responsibility to show that you know my father's name is on the
line enough to make him proud who knew him good and again it's an answer and
Prabhu so trusted me enough to give me the role and I want to do justice to
this role so I wouldn't think the pressure just like a sense of
responsibility that I have to you know do right by them and then make them
proud and as you said with everybody else everybody has their own strengths
strength so just everybody should capitalize on that and there we know
sort of comparison at all right but do you in the recent past that I have in
several movies by star kids do you have any personal favorite movie I have
honestly washed all of them and I didn't all of their work again as I said everyone
has their own strengths I got a lot to learn when I was watching because my
movie was no way and also shooting it so when I watched it I have a lot to learn
from everyone you know a lot of times people say that the first movie of
course is important but what is most important is just second movie because
that is what actually keeps you going from right what kind of movie will you
want to be you know a part of in your second as your second one I haven't
thought of this actually but I've been so overwhelmed with this experience
beautiful experience understand it take it all in and you know keep it and
treasure it forever so I'm now thought of my second but I am just going to
close my eyes and trust my mom dad and Salman sir so whatever they flip it for
me like they're my well wishers right okay thank you so much thank you if you
