Daisy Shah has had a dizzying journey. Once a junior artiste in Bollywood, she went on to work in South Indian films and is now starring opposite Salman Khan in Jai Ho. Standing tall in a black top and jeans, Daisy exudes the vibe of the girl next door. She is slightly nervous but gets into the groove once she realises this is a fun interview.

One question you would like to ask your Jai Ho hero,&nbsp;Salman Khan? Why do you work out so much? And why do you make others work out so much? For Jai Ho, I was not asked to lose weight but I was asked to tone my body. I was not plump, just on the healthier side. Fortunately, after all that effort, I found that toning makes a huge difference to your appearance.
What&rsquo;s the story behind the big scar on your forehead? I had a terrible car accident in Ooty in 2005 when I was hurrying to catch a flight. Initially, I was a little depressed because it is quite a big scar, but once I realised that there was nothing I could do about it, I learnt to live with it. I accepted it, as my life took a turn for the better after my accident. Destiny has a way of giving you things in return for what it takes away.
Are you cool with wearing bikinis and kissing onscreen? No, I am not.
Which heroine do you think makes the best pair with Salman? He looks best with Katrina Kaif.
If you woke up as a man tomorrow, which heroine would you propose to? Everybody is beautiful but I would rather be single like Salman.
Who was your first boyfriend and when did you have yourfirst kiss? I never had a boyfriend, so no kiss either.
You must have had a crush on someone? I am working with my first crush... Salman Khan.
Something about you that no-one knows. I am very impulsive. But I have learnt to take care of it.
And the credit goes to? Salman Khan (laughs).
What is your idea of Prince Charming? I can take care of myself financially; I want a man who takes care of me emotionally.
If you were to tell your background to a five-year old how would you describe it? We are a small close-knit family. Besides me, there&rsquo;s my mom, my elder sister Deepali who is married and has two lovely kids. My dad passed away in 2007 due to a heart attack. I have done half of my schooling in Vile Parle and completed the rest in Dombivli because we had to shift due to my dad&rsquo;s job. Later, we shifted to Malad and I studied in Khalsa College but couldn&rsquo;t give my last year exams since I was already working. There was a time when I shot for 15days in a row without sleeping. I don&rsquo;t remember ever going for a holiday.
How did you spend your first pay-cheque? All my payments go straight to my mother. I just keep a small amount for my personal expenses.
How would you describe your character in Jai Ho? She is a whacky girl, who does bizarre things and is a big chipku. But she loves dancing, which is very much like me.
How would you describe&nbsp;yourself? I am not a party person. When I am not working, I am very happy sipping my coffee and watching TV. Even if my mother is at home, she is in her room and I am in mine. I like being alone at most times and guard my &lsquo;me time&rsquo;.
Mumtaz ascended from being a junior artiste to a star. Do you think you will be able to&nbsp;emulate her? When it comes to our journeys, yes, I connect to her. I am what Mumtazji was.
