Sonakshi Sinha: Salman’s Dabangg costar Sonakshi Sinha was also mentored at one point by the actor as he helped her in shedding some extra kilos. It is not a hidden fact that Sonakshi used to be bulky before entering the industry and had shed around 16 kgs for her role in Dabangg, but Salman encouraged her to shed few more kilos just to get in the perfect shape. Certainly Dabangg was the biggest boost of Sonakshi’s career and she owes the same to Salman Khan.
