Ever since her participation in Bigg Boss 13, Shehnaaz Gill has shared a warm bond with Salman Khan. It thus came as no surprise when she bagged a part in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. However, Shehnaaz recently revealed that when the Bollywood star called her for the part, she had blocked his number.
The team of the film recently shot for an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, where Shehnaaz made the big revelation. She shared that she was in Amritsar, when she received calls from an unknown number. Not wanting to entertain the calls at the moment she blocked the number, only to be later informed that it was Salman Khan, who was calling her.
Sharing details on how she bagged the film, Shehnaaz Gill shared, “I was in Amritsar visiting the Gurudwara when I received a call from an unknown number. And I have this habit of blocking unknown numbers, so I did the same. Then after a few minutes, I got a message that Salman sir is trying to call me. Just to verify, I put the number on the Truecaller app and found out that it was actually Salman Khan calling me! I immediately unblocked him and called him back; it was then that he offered me the film and that’s how I got the film.”
At the trailer launch, Shehnaaz Gill had opened up about her experience of working in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and thanked Salman Khan for trusting her with the film. “When I went to shoot for my first music video, I was rejected. I was told, ‘Ye kaunsi bachchi leke aaye hai, we don’t want to shoot with her. Take her back.’ I came back and cried a lot at home, that I’ve been rejected. My mom told me why am I crying, one day I would be in a Salman Khan film. Sir gave me a chance and proved that mom’s words always come true,” she added.
Joining Salman and Shehnaaz on The Kapil Sharma Show would be the other cast members including Pooja Hegde, Shehnaaz Gill, Raghav Juyal, Palak Tiwari, Jassie Gill, Siddharth Nigam, Vinali Bhatnagar, and Sukhbir. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan will hit cinema halls on April 21.
