Daisy Shah makes her Bollywood debut with the film Jai Ho.
Newcomer Daisy Shah, who will beseen in Salman Khan starrer Jai Ho, says she regrettedsaying no to the superstar for his hit film Bodyguard.
"I regret only about one thing and that was saying no toSalman. I think whether you work with Salman or not, hispresence in your life is more than enough. In that way, I feltI lost out on him. I look at him as a hero, as my hero in realand in reel life. I am fond of him, I am romancing him (in thefilm)," Daisy told PTI in an interview.
Daisy was offered to play Kareena Kapoor Khan's bestfriend in Bodyguard, but the role did not excite her.
"I was not convinced with the part that I was offered toplay. I was shooting for a south film and dates were also aproblem. I couldn't put that project on hold, I had toconcentrate on one thing, I chose to do south film," she said.
But it took her sometime to explain to Salman the reasonfor saying no. "I took time to give an answer to him. I waspreparing myself for 7-8 days how to say no to him. I feelanything done half heartedly is a waste," she said.
When she rejected the role, Salman just said ok, but didnot 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'sMaine Pyaar Kyun Kiya and he noticed her once and asked herif she would like to get into acting.
"We were shooting for a song in South Africa for MainePyaar Kyun Kiya and while doing rehearsals he saw a glimpse ofmine in a video tape. He felt I had the potential of becomingbig or getting into acting. He did not tell me anything thattime as I was not prepared what to do next. When he learntthat I have done modelling and acted in south films he askedme for films," the actress said.
Salman has launched several newcomers and people lookupto him as a godfather and a mentor.
"When I have to say something about him, I fall short ofwords. Whoever I am today, wherever I am today is because ofhim. I owe it to him," she said.
Daisy is all praise for Salman as an actor. "When you areworking with Salman you learn things continuously, there isalways a scope of improvement. He wants everybody to show thatyou are involved in the film and not to be aloof," she added.
