★ We finally zeroed in on Harshaali Malhotra, who was pure magic on screen, and the chemistry with Salman was bang on. And I remember the first time I took her to Salman’s house in Galaxy. Right from there on, you could see the chemistry between them. Ultimately the magic of Bajrangi Bhaijaan is that dynamic between the character of Bajrangi and the little girl Munni.-Kabir Khan

★5 Years of Bajrangi Bhaijaan EXCLUSIVE: Harshaali Malhotra, now 12, remembers working with Salman Khan, Kabir Khan and a lot more!
Jul 17, 2020
5 years ago, exactly on this day, history was created. Bajrangi Bhaijaan arrived in cinemas and also in the hearts of millions of moviegoers across the country and also the world. Starring Salman Khan in the lead role, it told the story of a righteous Lord Hanuman devotee from India who crosses into Pakistan illegally to help reunite a mute girl with her family. It was directed by Kabir Khan and it was a perfect marriage of the sensibilities of him and Salman. It had the commercial factors that brought Salman fans in abundance and it was nicely interspersed with geopolitical viewpoints of Kabir. The result was that it turned out to be not just one of Salman’s biggest blockbusters (his first Rs. 300 crore grosser) but also the most acclaimed film of Salman ever arguably. Even his hardest critics admitted that this film brought them to tears.Â
Besides the writing, execution and message, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was embellished with some brilliant performances. And the USP in this regard was the little Harshaali Malhotra, who plays Shahida aka Munni, the Pakistani girl who gets lost in India. Her cuteness and expressions added a lot to the film and she overnight became a sensation. Bollywood Hungama exclusively reached out to her to find out what she has to say about the memories associated with the film, life post Bajrangi Bhaijaanand a lot more. Here’s what Harshaali, now 12, has to say:
How did you bag the role of Munni in Bajrangi Bhaijaan? Do you remember your audition? My audition focused on body language. I met Mukesh uncle (casting director Mukesh Chhabra) and he took my audition. He then told my mother that I have been shortlisted for Bajrangi Bhaijaan. We then had a workshop. That's how I got the role.
How was it working with Salman Khan? It was great and amazing. I never felt nervous as he made me so feel so comfortable. Sometimes, he used to also guide me on how I should perform.
And how was it working with Kabir Khan? It was very good. He always took care of me like a father on set. I really do miss him!
I saw your videos of you taking the ATV ride with Salman Khan and also with Kabir Khan. Who, according to you, was the better ATV rider? (Smiles) Salman uncle!
I believe you changed your school after the release of the film. What was the reaction then among your classmates? Did you get special treatment since you had worked in such a big film? It used to be chaotic at the beginning! But now it has settled. However, even now, my friends ask me about Salman uncle.
Who are your favourite actors and actresses? My favourites are Salman uncle, Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor.
And which are your favourite films? The Harry Potter series and Avengers series and of course, Bajrangi Bhaijaan!
After Bajrangi Bhaijaan, you worked in the Diamond wafers ad with Salman Khan. And in between, I believe both of you did in a few occasions… Yes, we met on Diwali and during his birthday in Panvel.
Are you and Salman Khan still in touch? Yes. We are not able to meet. Woh busy rehte hai na. But we talk over the phone. He asks me about my studies.
