Salman gave me a second chance: Daisy Shah

Actress Daisy Shah has become hot property in the south these days. After making her debut with Bhadra, the dancer-turned-actor is much in demand after she was signed up for the Bollywood film Mental, opposite Salman Khan. Daisy, who is shooting for Aakramana opposite Raghu Mukherjee in Mysore and was having fun in the heritage city, spoke to us about her Hindi film, Salman, and more. “It is so peaceful and quiet here. Though we haven’t gone out to explore the city much, I am planning to take a short break to tour the city before I head to Mumbai,” says Daisy. The actress, we hear, has already completed the first schedule of Mental, a film that also stars Sana Khan as one of the female leads. Daisy says, “I have no scenes with Sana. She has an important role too, but I am not going to be comparing it with mine.” She is, however, more forthcoming about her hero. “Salman never forgets his promises and gave me a second chance in Mental (Daisy was approached to play second lead in Bodyguard). He is the giving type. If a person deserves a chance, he will definitely give them that. I am glad that Sohail (Khan) and Salman thought that I would fit the role perfectly. The role is made for me and I am not going to prove them wrong.” But working with Salman also brings along rumours of linkups too. Apparently, the Dabangg actor has been taking romantic walks with Daisy. “Speculation and rumour is nothing new in the industry. Reports might suggest so many things, but the reality is best known only to us,” she says. Working with Salman has its ups as well. Daisy is apparently flooded with offers in the south. “I’m getting offers from big stars in Kannada cinema. But I can’t predict the entertainment industry,” she says. The actress, who began her acting career in the south, admits, though, that working here has been far from a bed of roses. Daisy is upset with the makers of her debut Tamil film Mounamana Neram. “I am upset, as they don’t keep Mumbai heroines in the loop about the movie’s progress. They just want us to act and leave, which is not professional. For instance, I have no clue about the release of my Tamil movie. They are least interested in passing on any information about the film. I’d be glad if they included us through all stages of the film,” says Daisy. While reports suggest that Aakramana will be her last Kannada film, Daisy says, “I’m not quitting Sandalwood. I’ve been getting offers, but I cannot travel often to the south now because of Mental. I want to concentrate on my Bollywood debut.
