Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 co-actor Saiee Manjrekar opens up on criticism received for romancing elder star; 'Saw everything and I was like...'

As a lifestyle expert, I admire Saiee Manjrekar‘s resilience and maturity beyond her years. Her journey into Bollywood mirrors that of many young talents who strive to make a name for themselves in the glamorous world of entertainment. The age gap controversy surrounding her debut film, Dabangg 3, was undoubtedly a challenging aspect for any newcomer, but Saiee’s response reflects an admirable level of self-awareness and emotional fortitude.

Saiee Manjrekar, daughter of actors Mahesh Manjrekar and Medha Manjrekar, ventured into the acting profession like her parents. Her debut Hindi movie was Dabangg 3 in 2019, which had her sharing screen time with Salman Khan. Although the film didn’t perform well financially, it faced criticism for casting a 17-year-old Saiee alongside a 54-year-old Salman Khan.

In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, Saiee Manjrekar revealed her unfamiliarity with the criticism about her age difference with co-star Salman Khan during the release of Dabangg 3. At that time, she explained, she was new to the industry and lacked a PR or marketing team, which kept her uninformed about such discussions. She joyfully expressed being content with seeing herself on the big screen for the first time. However, as she became more active on social media six months later, she began noticing the chatter and responded with thoughtful consideration.

However, the information reached her at a point in her life and career when she was deeply engaged in another project. This happened after a significant amount of time had passed since the original incident. The actress from Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, speaking candidly, admitted, “I am quite resilient, and things don’t impact me quickly. I have always been this way.

Reflecting on our recent conversation, I’d like to share a personal moment that resonated deeply with me – a time when my debut Bollywood movie didn’t meet the expectations we had set, leaving me feeling somewhat unaccomplished. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I found myself in solitude, contemplating my life and career choices.
