<p>Bollywood's "Shotgun Junior&rdquo; shared her sentiments in an interview on show "Born Stylish" with host and designer Pria Kataaria Puri.</p>
<p>She said: &ldquo;To be honest, I wanted to be an astronaut, my math was so bad though that no institute would have given me admission. I love sports, I like to swim and play tennis so I also thought of becoming a swimmer once."</p>
<p>&ldquo;Being in fashion designing, I used to sketch well, I thought of becoming an artist also but eventually, I landed up being an actress. There were a lot of people from different walks of life who inspired me while making a career choice. I was always a courageous girl!&rdquo;</p>
<p>A simple dialogue like &ldquo;Thappad se darr nahi lagta saab ji. pyar se lagta hai&rdquo; from &ldquo;Dabangg&rdquo; is still a rage among cinema buffs.</p>
<p>The actress, who is busy shooting for her upcoming films &ldquo;Akira&rdquo; and &ldquo;Force 2&rdquo;, says she &ldquo;never thought a heroine can get famous for her dialogue&rdquo;.</p>
<p>She said: &ldquo;For me, the switch from fashion to cinema was all destiny. Arbaaz (Khan) spotted me at one of the fashion shows and approached me for the movie 'Dabangg', though I never wanted to be there, it was an offer I could not say no to. I had never thought a heroine can get famous for her dialogue; my father&rsquo;s expertise has clearly rubbed-off on me&rdquo;.</p>
