I respect Salman Khan a lot: Iulia Vantur

The ravishing Iulia Vantur finally appeared before Indian media, who know her as the ‘love interest’ of Salman Khan. But her appearance was as part of announcing her latest music album Aap Se Hai Mausiiquii directed by Himesh Reshammiya.

So, how did this Romanian beauty step into Bollywood? And that has some connection to Sallu. “I was dancing in a party when Atul and Alvira came up to to me and asked if I was keen on singing for his film. Initially I thought it was a joke, but after Salman heard me sing the Romanian version of Teri meri, he got hooked to it and used the tune in his film Bodyguard,” says a happy Iulia, who has been an ardent fan of Bollywood numbers since childhood. “These songs make us happier as they have a festive feeling. The romantic songs appeal to everyone,” she opines.

Speaking of romantic, the obvious question popped up — Sallu bhai. “We are good friends. All of us know how kind-hearted Salman is. Whoever meets him will feel the same. I have a lot of respect for him,” she clarified.

Can we soon see her acting in films as well? And Iulia quips, “Everything so far has happened so fast that I did not know what was happening. I don’t know what is in store. I am sure there is someone who has been very kind to me and has been handling my life from above there. What ever he has in store for me will be happily honoured by me.”
