Actress Padmini Kapila has done movies like ‘Laawaris’, ‘Shaan’, ‘Ghungroo’ in smaller roles. While she was a known face, somehow wrong choices and luck did not allow her career to take off the way it should have. Padmini has admitted to her relationship with director Prakash Mehra who made movies like ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’ among many others. Mehra also never gave her any big movies and in a recent interview, she said that she heard him say once, ‘Badi picture dunga toh haath se nikal jayegi’. In the same interview with Lehren, the actress was asked, ‘But then you got involved with Salim Khan’.She instantly denied it. Veteran journalist Bharathi S Pradhan, further told her, “When I asked Salim Khan about it many years ago, he had said, ‘Itni khubsurat ladki ko maine response nahi diya toh I’m an idiot.’ So, he never denied it, nor have you denied.” Reacting to it, she laughed and said, “What is there to deny when there is nothing. He said that because he’s a dialogue writer.” She further added, “But he always said that with your looks, you should have done bigger films, but perhaps it’s destiny.’ I was like, yes, in a film like ‘Prem Kahaani’. My clothes were stitched but the film went to Mumtaz.” When further asked that there was nothing with Salim, she said, “no no othing at all.” Padmini was further asked if Salim’s family including Salman Khan and others have believed the rumours and ever reacted to it. “You should ask them that,” she said, further adding, “I know Salman from the time when he had not even made his debut.”
