<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nDaisy Shah<\/a> may have made her Bollywood breakthrough opposite Salman Khan<\/a> in Jai Ho, but before that, the actress had actually turned down one of his films. In a recent interview, Daisy recalled the difficult moment when she said no to Salman<\/a> Khan\u2019s Bodyguard and revealed how tense the atmosphere became afterward.<\/p>\n Talking about the incident, Daisy admitted that she mentally prepared herself for days before having the conversation with Salman Khan.\u201cI had to prepare myself for a week in the mirror. I had to gather all my courage to say what I had to say to him,\u201d she shared with Bollywood Bubble.The actress further revealed that she has a habit of replaying conversations in her mind and thinking about how she could have responded differently.\u201cToh mere case mein kya hota hai na ki koi bhi conversation hone ke baad main analyse karti hoon ki, \u2018Oh shit, mujhe aise jawab dena chahiye tha. Mujhe aise bolna chahiye tha.\u2019 Toh mera after-thinking zyada hota hai. Main pre-hand thinking karti hi nahi hoon,\u201d Daisy said.<\/p>\n Daisy Shah went on to describe Salman Khan\u2019s reaction after she declined the offer for Bodyguard, admitting that the silence in the room felt never-ending.\u201cThere was a pin-drop silence in the room for a good five to seven minutes. Five to seven minutes is too long. At that point of time, it felt very long. It still is very long for a dictated situation like that. And main andar hi andar bol rahi thi, \u2018Please say something, please say something.\u2019 And there was only one thing that came from his mouth. He was like, \u2018Okay,\u2019\u201d she recalled.When asked if Salman Khan was upset, Daisy instead defended him and pointed out that he may have simply been processing the situation.\u201cWoh bhi toh human hai na. He also must be processing his own things,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n Despite the awkward moment, Daisy had only kind words for Salman Khan and praised the actor for always taking care of people close to him.\u201cHe is the same. I think he is one of the most caring souls that you will ever come across, be it on set, be it in personal life, be it whatever. If you are under his wings, he will take care of you, no matter what,\u201d she said.Before becoming an actress, Daisy Shah worked as an assistant to choreographer Ganesh Acharya. She later ventured into South cinema and appeared in several songs before Salman Khan approached her for Bodyguard.The role eventually went to Hazel Keech, while Daisy chose to wait for a role she felt aligned better with her acting ambitions. Nearly one-and-a-half years later, Salman contacted her again and asked her to audition for Jai Ho. She eventually bagged the role and rose to fame with the 2014 film.<\/div>\nDaisy Shah says rejecting Salman Khan was not easy<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
