Iulia Vantur on Salman Khan starrer Sikandar's performance at the box office
Iulia Vantur and Salman Khan Iulia Vantur 's recent work includes a rendition of the iconic song Lag Ja Gale in Sikandar, featuring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. The opportunity to work on a song originally sung by the legendary Lata Mangeshkar has strengthened her as a singer, further establishing her presence in the music industry. While the project did give her an opportunity to work on an iconic number, the film, unlike the other Salman starrers didn't do too well at the box office. When we asked Iulia to comment on the same, she said, 'What do you do when your film gets leaked. People are leaking movies online. They were respecting the work of the artists earlier but now they are leaking movies. There are these situations where you can't help. But elements like these damage a film's business. Having said that one must celebrate the love which the film received. There are fans who respect Salman's work and has supported him for thirty years and came to watch the film.' Iulia also says that to last long in an industry like showbiz for decades together is commendable. She elaborates, 'To last for so many decades is not easy. And you need more than just talent for that. You need a different kind of involvement and love to give to your audience. So, these people stuck with you for so long and they stand by you through thick and thin. I think that's the biggest achievement of an actor.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo She's also thankful to Salman for showing trust in her and giving her work.

Salman Khan's rumoured girlfriend Iulia Vantur answers if their association overshadowed her career: ‘I feel grateful he believed in me'
Iulia Vantur, the rumoured girlfriend of Salman Khan, has been making headlines for reprising Lata Mangeshkar's iconic song, Lag Ja Gale in the actor's recent release Sikandar. The Romanian actress, who marked her debut in Bollywood with the 2014 film O Teri, slowly shifted to music and has made a name for herself around the world. She accompanied Yo Yo Honey Singh for his tours, performed with Jason Derulo as well as gave opening performance for Ricky Martin's concert in Dubai last year. While Iulia has been in the industry for over a decade, she is often addressed as the 'rumoured girlfriend of Salman Khan ' than an actor or singer in her own right. Recently, she reacted to her association with the Bollywood superstar and revealed whether or not it overshadows her work. She told Times of India that she feels honoured to have been guided by Salman Khan, who has such vast experience in the industry. Without sharing the impact of her connection with Salman on her work and identity, Iulia shared that she is grateful that the Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo star believed in her abilities. Iulia and Salman have been rumoured to be dating each other for a very long time with the Romanian actress always being a part of all the family gatherings and celebrations at Salman's household. Despite the rumours, both the singer or Salman have never opened up about their relationship. While Salman remains unmarried at 58, Iulia, who is 44 says her life is guided by love and she is making decisions based on that when asked about her thoughts on marriage. In the past, Iulia had quashed the rumours of her dating Salman Khan. In 2018, she told Times Now, 'Salman Khan is a good friend. I am aware of the gossip. Most of it is not true. But, I cannot stop people from spinning stories. I have a lot of respect for Salman. At the same time, I have no idea where life is taking me.' Giving credits to Salman for her career in India, Iulia said, 'I had never planned to come to India to work. There was no ambition, no fool-proof plan. Salman is a good friend and he guided me, encouraging me to sing. I never thought that I would be able to sing in Hindi but he supported me. I started singing because of him. I had no plans to be a part of Bollywood but I also like surprises at the same time.' Iulia often makes headlines for accompanying the Khan family on their vacations and parties. She was recently spotted with Salman Khan in Jamnagar, a day after Sikandar's trailer launch event in Mumbai.
