Meet actress who made her debut with Salman Khan, never became a star, was trolled for..., is the daughter of Bollywood's famous..., she is...
There are many actors in Bollywood who left a lasting impact on the audience and now, despite being in the industry for over two decades, are remembered for some of their iconic characters. One such figure in Bollywood is Mahesh Manjrekar, who is still remembered for roles like Inspector Daya Nayak in Kurukshetra, Zafar Bhai in Slumdog Millionaire, Raj Yadav aka Rajbhai in Dabangg, and more. Just like Mahesh, his daughter Saiee Manjrekar is also making heads turn after she made her debut in 2019 with Dabangg 3.
Saiee made her dream debut with Salman Khan and romanced the actor double her age. Sadly, her debut film opposite Salman Khan — a sequel to the blockbuster franchise — failed to recreate the magic of its predecessors. She also faced heavy trolling for romancing Salman, who is 37 years her senior.
Though the movie did not work well, it did bring Saiee some fame. She was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her performance.
Meanwhile, following her debut, Saiee faced major backlash due to the age difference. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Saiee revealed that she stayed off social media for six months following the film's release.
'I was oblivious to that discussion because that was the time I had just started, and I had no management, no PR, so I was unaware of all this. I was just happy to see myself on the big screen,' she said.
Later in 2022, she worked in two films — Ghani and Major. Saiee has worked in Marathi, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu cinema.
Saiee also featured in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, which starred Ajay Devgn and Tabu in lead roles. Apart from films, Saiee has also been a part of a music video called Manjha, with Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma. It was sung by Vishal Mishra.

"We wouldn't be able to make that now": Danny Boyle on 'Slumdog Millionaire'

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 28 Years Later director reflected on the Oscar-winning film that starred and . "Yeah, we wouldn't be able to make that now," he said of the film. "And that's how it should be. It's time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world," as per the outlet. When asked whether the production itself amounted to a form of colonialism, the director denied that but added, "Well, only in the sense that everything is. At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We'd work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you're still an outsider. It's still a flawed method. That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times. But at other times it cannot be." Boyle shared thae he is "proud of the film" but noted, "You wouldn't even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn't even get financed. Even if I was involved, I'd be looking for a young Indian film-maker to shoot it," according to The Hollywood Reporter. At the time, 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a box office hit and went on to earn 10 Oscar nominations and win eight Academy Awards at the 2009 ceremony. Boyle won for best director. On Friday, Boyle returns to theaters with 28 Years Later, a sequel that arrives more than twenty years after he and writer revitalized the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
