Warina Hussain on being launched by Salman Khan: He is my real-life hero

Warina Hussain is all set to mark her debut with 'LoveYatri' opposite Aayush Sharma, brother-in-law of Salman Khan. The movie has been rocking the headlines since the announcement. Now, the movie is garnering accolades for its trailer and songs.

Recently, during an interview, Warina talked about how she feels to be launched by none other than the superstar. She said that it still feels like a dream. As its a big project, she also understands that she has a bigger responsibility. The actress added that she is grateful to Salman for launching her under his banner.

As 'LoveYatri' is her first film, she expressed her nervousness and said, "I was really nervous when I did my first portfolio. I knew nothing of the industry then. Today, I find myself in the same spot where I was six years ago. This is my first film and I have no idea about how to go about it."

Warina went ahead and praised Salman for being nice to a newbie in the industry, she said, "He was so nice. He is always very positive about everything. He has been so supportive of me throughout. He is a real-life hero for me. My life totally changed because of him. Despite me coming from a very different background, he gave me this huge break."

She also revealed that 'LoveYatri' might not have been her debut film as she was on board for another film but the film didn't go on floors. She said, "It is difficult to bag a project. There is so much competition, you end up questioning your craft. I have faced rejections for a couple of films. When I started out I was not comfortable in speaking Hindi. I was almost on board for a film but the project never took off."

Helmed by Abhiraj Minawala, the film is all set to hit the theatres on October 5.

Salman Khan has given several aspiring actors wings to fly and the motivation to chase their dreams of making it big in Bollywood. One such actress who will be soon making her Bollywood debut is Katrina Kaif’s sister Isabelle Kaif.

However, as per latest reports, the ‘Race 3’ actor has decided to opt out of the film.

She stated that the line-up of the films has changed and Salman and Remo are debating which film to go ahead with. The ‘A Gentleman’ actress joked that the script is not a concern for her at the moment, as long as she’s working with Salman.

Of course, Mouni did well, subsequently bagging the part."

The Akshay Kumar starrer is based on India's first Olympic win as a free country. Along with Akshay and Mouni, the movie also stars Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh and Sunny Kaushal.

Salman Khan and Iulia Vantur forced to spend time apart?

Bollywood’s 'IT' couple Salman Khan and Iulia Vantur’s whirlwind romance might just come to a halt. Reports doing the rounds suggest that the rumoured couple is being forced to spend time apart.

Iulia will have to take a trip back home to renew her VISA if Salman’s team can’t manage to get her a year-long working VISA. According to reports, Salman’s manager and his team got Iulia to star in a special song sequence in ‘O Teri’ and also got her to croon for ‘Sultan’ in order to smoothen the VISA process, but to no avail. As they still have a few months in hand, Salman’s manager is reportedly in constant touch with the Embassy officials to get her VISA extended. Iulia was reportedly forced to leave the country in 2014 as she failed to get her VISA extended.

Sonakshi Sinha not a part of ‘Dabangg 3’?

Sonakshi Sinha, who made her debut opposite Salman Khan in 'Dabangg' and was later retained for its sequel 'Dabangg 2,' might not score a hat trick as far as the franchise is concerned. Speculations are rife that producer, Arbaaz Khan is looking for another actress to star opposite Salman Khan as things aren't supposedly well between Salman and Sonakshi. Reportedly, it all started when the 'Sultan' actor, who launched Sonakshi in Bollywood with 'Dabangg,' offered Arbaaz’s production 'Dolly Ki Doli' to her but she refused.

Salman Khan watches Daisy Shah's play with sister Shweta Rohira

There have been a lot of speculation about how Salman Khan's girlfriend Lulia Vantur is not comfortable with his friendship with Daisy Shah and also how Khan is staying away from the Shweta Rohira and Pulkit Samrat divorce drama but last night put a stop to these rumors.

Anushka Sharma: Salman Khan is not two-faced

Salman Khan's 'Sultan' co-star Anushka Sharma is all praises for the 50-year-old superstar. The two will be seen sharing screen space for the very first time on the celluloid and fans are going berserk about it. While one could figure the level of excitement on Anushka's end for having worked with all three Khans in Bollywood, the actress was actually intimidated by Salman's larger than life persona during the initial days of shoot. Speaking about the same in an interview, the 'Pk' star was quoted saying that Salman might not go out of his way to make someone feel comfortable but he is the way he is on your face. She likes that the 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' star is not two-faced.

Salman Khan - Iulia Vantur relive 'Andaz Apna Apna'?

Remember that dialogue from 'Andaz Apna Apna' where Aamir Khan says, "Do dost ek pyaali mein chaai piyenge. Iss se pyaar badhta hai"? Looks like his co-star from the film Salman Khan took his advice way too seriously. We aren't saying so; these pictures say it all. And after all, pictures speak louder than words, don't they? Now, the most interesting part is that the person who Salman shared his coffee mug with is none other than his rumoured girlfriend Iulia Vantur. Recently, Salman's co-star from 'Sultan', Randeep Hooda, who plays his coach in the film, shared a picture of him and Salman together, chilling on the sets of the film wherein Salman is seen holding a coffee mug. Interestingly, Iulia had shared a picture of her holding a coffee mug which is exactly similar to that of Salman's. We know you guys would say that it could be pure coincidence. We aren't denying that either. But Iulia being spotted with Salman more often than not and accompanying him to almost every schedule of Sultan can't be coincidence, no? We hope what Aamir said in 'Andaz Apna Apna' prove true in this case and love only blossoms further between 'good friends' Salman and Iulia.

She added that she respects Iulia because she is Salman's friend, but knows nothing about her.

Iulia Vantur wants Salman Khan to stay away from Daisy Shah?

Looks like the growing proximity between Salman Khan and his alleged girlfriend Iulia Vantur is going to make the actor pay a heavy price for his fondness for the Romanian beauty. The actor is quite famous for having a lot of female friends, however, we hear that his rumoured soon-to-be better half is not keen on having her beau mingle with a few of them. Precisely Daisy Shah! If a source close to the Khandaan is to be belived, Iulia had asked Salman to maintain distance with his ‘Jai Ho’ co-star, but despite of her multiple requests, the actor paid no heed to her. The Romanian beauty then approached the senior members of the Khandaan post which, Salman, along with Arpita, has been instructed to keep at bay from Daisy. Love is in the air, indeed!

Salman Khan's super special gesture for Iulia Vantur

For all those who are thinking that Salman Khan has gifted Iulia Vantur an apartment or a car or latest Being Human franchise, you are wrong! We all know by now how protective Salman is of people who he is close to and whom he considers family. Iulia Vantur too is undoubtedly one of Khan's 'closest friends' and hence, Salman has now decided to provide security to Iulia and has already instructed his best man Shera to work towards it, ASAP! Needless to say, Shera has already started interviewing right candidates to guard Iulia from prying eyes of Salman's fans and detractors (and even media at a few occasions we guess). Interestingly, strong rumours about Salman's marriage with Iulia have been doing the rounds since quite a few days and the superstar feels that his rumoured girlfriend might be hounded by the paparazzi and hence, he has now decided to provide her extra security. While the interviews of guards are in full swing, Salman has asked a couple of his personal guards to be by his alleged ladylove's side and ensure that she is given the best security possible.

A few days ago, we were all thrilled when Salman Khan’s Being Human Foundation released the poster of their latest Spring/Summer 2016 collection. Why, you ask?

Gizele Thakral: Salman Khan has made my lips famous

Gizele Thakral, the hottie in ‘Mastizaade’ and ‘Kya Kool Hain Hum 3’, got evicted from ‘Bigg Boss 9’ but is not complaining for the immense teasing that she faced on the show. Instead, she is thankful to Salman Khan who actually made her famous by teasing her and even talking about her lips to Shah Rukh Khan during the latter’s presence on the show, as reported by DNA. Gizele, who claimed that she didn’t mind the hullabaloo about her lips as she was being picked on for the same reason since her school days, is happy that she is famous for her lips now. While she blamed her meagre fan following for her eviction from the show, she won’t be complaining now, we suppose.

Katrina Kaif: I called Salman and yelled at him

It seems like Katrina Kaif is finally speaking her mind. The actress, in an interview with GQ magazine, has revealed that she is still on good terms with her Ek Tha Tiger co-star, Salman Khan and has asserted that she will always remain so. Commenting on the snide remarks made by Salman on Kapil's TV show, the actress admitted in the interview that she had immediately called up Salman and yelled at him for the same. She has been quoted in the interview as saying that the base of her relationship with Salman was correct, it was true and asserts that it is why they are still able to be friends. However, she adds that Salman lives in a parallel universe, always making these jokes about her publicly, which gets the media really kicked. She then referred to the comment he made on Kapil's show when he saw her pictures on a set of crackers. She reveals that she then called him and yelled at him. She reasons that she can do that, as that is the sort of equation they have. She further reveals that Salman apologised to her and said that he will apologise to the media too but it was her who asked him to refrain from doing anything like that and maintain a dignified silence if it was possible.

Salman Khan's protégées set the screen ablaze

Salman Khan is credited with launching the careers of many Bollywood beauties. He was the one to introduce Zareen Khan in Veer and Daisy Shah in Jai Ho!

The trailer of the film has recently released and offers a glimpse into the third film of the franchise. Both Zareen and Daisy are seen in some rather bold and steamy lovemaking scenes in the trailer.
