Sambhavna Seth recalls being hurt when Salman asked her to lose weight

Sambhavna Seth recalls being hurt when Salman Khan asked her to lose weight: 'He doesn't females jo thoda uthke zyada baat kare'

Actor and former ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant Sambhavna Seth is known for being vocal about her opinions. The actor has enjoyed immense popularity in Bhojpuri cinema. Sambhavna is also a Youtuber now and she recently revisited a moment from her career which left her shocked. The actor spoke about an encounter with superstar Salman Khan that left her emotionally shaken at the time.In an interview, Sambhavna recalled the period when Salman had just begun hosting ‘Bigg Boss’ with Season 4. During that season, former contestants were invited back to perform on the show, and she was among those asked to return. “During Bigg Boss Season 4, when Salman Khan had just started hosting, contestants from previous seasons were invited to perform. Rakhi Sawant performed and I did as well. I remember sitting there when Salman Khan pointed at me and said, ‘This girl killed it.’ When a superstar praises you like that in front of everyone, it means a lot,” she said in an interview with Hauterfly.Actor Ravi Kishan also introduced Sambhavna to Salman during the episode and spoke highly of her achievements in Bhojpuri cinema.“Ravi Kishan told Salman Khan, ‘Brother, I wanted you to meet her. This is Sambhavna. She is a big name in the Bhojpuri industry and an excellent dancer.’ Salman replied, ‘Yes, I just saw her ,she dances amazingly.’ Ravi Kishan then said, ‘If you feel it’s right, please give her some work,’ and Salman said, ‘Yes, yes, 100 percent.’”According to Sambhavna, Salman even asked her to contact him directly if she wanted to discuss work. “He told me, ‘Take my number. You don’t need anyone in between. No one will come in the middle, you can come directly to me.’ I thought that meant I had finally got work.” Later, she was invited once again to perform on the show. This time, however, the makers requested that she interact with Salman in the same outspoken manner that had made her popular during her stint as a contestant.“I was called again to perform. The show’s makers told me they wanted the same Sambhavna from Bigg Boss in front of Salman. I said I admire Salman Khan a lot, so how could I behave like that in front of him? But they insisted that if Salman asked questions, I should answer them in the same ‘Bigg Boss Sambhavna’ attitude. I did that, but I think Salman Khan didn’t like it because he doesn’t like females joh aise thoda uthke baat kare (who speak very boldly or strongly, that’s what I felt),” she said. After the shoot wrapped up, Sambhavna waited for Salman to reach out regarding work, but the call never came. Eventually, she decided to approach him herself. “After the episode shoot ended, I kept waiting for Salman Khan to call me to meet him, but he didn’t. So I went to meet him myself. He asked me how I was. He seemed irritated and very tired, and he had an eye problem at the time, so maybe he was in a different zone because of that, or maybe because of me, I don’t know.”During their conversation, she brought up the topic of work that had been discussed earlier. “I told him, ‘Salman ji, I wanted to ask about the work you had mentioned.’ He said, ‘I think you need to lose a little weight.’ His tone had changed.” The comment took her by surprise and left her deeply hurt.“I was shocked. It felt like everything had suddenly changed. I told him, ‘If you want, I can lose weight.’ I wasn’t even overweight. And when someone really wants to give you work, whether you’re thin or not shouldn’t matter.” Despite the painful memory, Sambhavna emphasised that she continues to respect Salman Khan and remains one of his admirers, even though the incident had affected her deeply at the time.She further added, “With due respect, I love Salman Khan. Koi gila shikwa nai hai. I’ve been a fan and I’m a fan but I’ll work on myself. After I left from there, from Lonavla to Mumbai, I only kept crying. Aapka dil tootta hai because I wanted to make my parents proud ke Salman Khan ne gaana diya hai. Aapke life ke bohot sapne pure hote hai aur phir andhera hota hai woh maine dekha hai. I took a year off, I lost weight and I texted him again and he didn’t revert.” Go to Source
