Every time Salman introduces a new girl in Bollywood; he makes it a point to be her teacher, guide and philosopher till she has built a strong foundation in the industry.
It first began with Katrina Kaif, followed by Zarine Khan and this time it is Sonakshi Sinha. Salman is the one who’s responsible for turning the overweight Sonakshi into the svelte damsel that she’s today.

Sonakshi had to really sweat out while shooting in Panchgani for Dabangg with Salman. Their hotel was quite a distance from the shooting location and Salman often used to make Sonakshi walk from the shooting site to hotel at the end of the day. He had even set up a gym there and would encourage Sonakshi to work out with him.

Salman also kept a carefully watch on Sonakshi’s diet. Oily and fatty food was strictly prohibited to her. She was only given salads to eat.

Nowadays, the girl is in admirable shape and is thankful to Salman for making her go through the whole grind.
