Bigg Boss 13 fame Shehnaaz Gill has made her big Bollywood debut with Salman Khan’s latest release, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. During the promotion of the movie, she maintained that Salman was her guiding light who helped her transition her way from Punjabi cinema to Hindi cinema. Also, though Shehnaaz has been introduced in Bollywood by Salman, success hasn’t gone to her head. She believes she has benefitted from her mistakes of the past and wants to continue to learn from them in future as well.

In a new interview, Shehnaaz expressed her gratitude towards Salman. “I had no knowledge about Bollywood. Salman (Khan) sir motivated me and taught me how to be and what to do. I used to ask him a lot of things and he used to teach me everything properly. I have learnt a lot from him. I hope to use all of it in future,” the actor told Bollywood Bubble.

Shehnaaz underwent a body transformation after she stepped out of the Bigg Boss 13 house. She lost a lot of weight after being ‘fat-shamed’ on the show. In one of her YouTube live videos, she also claimed that she lost weight because the entertainment industry only prefers slim girls.
