Madhuri Dixit's 'Prem Granth' co-actor Saloni Chopra of 'MTV Girls on Top' fame shares cute incident from the setsAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Late actor-filmmaker Rajiv Kapoor's directorial Prem Granth completed 25 years of its release recently. The film starred the late Rishi Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit-Nene in the lead roles. The 'Devdas' actor took to her Instagram page and shared a few BTS stills from the sets and wrote, "An iconic film based on a subject ahead of its time #25YearsOfPremGranth." In one of the photos, Madhuri is seen posing with a child artist.
The young actor is none other Saloni Chopra from 'MTV Girls on Top' which aired in 2016. She posted the photo which Madhuri shared and wrote an interesting anecdote. Saloni stated, "Is your girl still the cutest or what?! When @madhuridixitnene uploaded this photo last night I fangirled so hard I almost forgot to edit it to go with my TL vibe."
She further wrote, "Fun fact: I have a 'nickname' (Tina) and a 'first name' (Saloni) - of course, nobody at home calls me Saloni. Little me didn’t realise that I didn’t have to introduce myself with both names, so when I met people, I always said, 'Hi, my name is Tina and Saloni.' And then every day on set, @madhuridixitnene would come up to me and go “Tina, what’s your name again?” confused I’d say 'It's Tinno-no. and she’d ask 'no no, the other one?'"
Saloni added, "The next day, she’d come and say “Saloni, what’s your name?” - I would frustratedly say 'it’s Saloni only!' and she’d laugh and say 'No, the other one?' Evidently, her sense of humour won my sense of logic. Do you have a nickname, cupcakes? ALSO... how is she THIS beautiful #madhuridixit #premganth #memories #throwback #throwbackwednesday #bollywood #india #nickname #childhoodmemories."
