Sonakshi Sinha made her big Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in ‘Dabangg’ and ever since then, the actress has been a part of the ever-growing franchise.
The actress also shares a close bond with the superstar.
Talking about the same, Sonakshi earlier told IANS, My bond with him goes beyond a professional relationship of co-actors.
I knew him before I started acting.
Our families have known each other for a long time now, and I have known him more as a friend than a co-star.”
The actress also credited Salman for making her realise her true calling.
“Dabangg is what made me realise what my true calling is.
I never thought I would end up being an actor till Salman told me that I am doing this film.
But from day one on set, I knew this is where I belong.
So the franchise is like a homecoming for me,” the actress added.
