Saiee Manjrekar recently reflected on her debut in Dabangg 3 opposite Salman Khan, where she played the role of Rajjo, alongside the superstar. However, the film faced backlash, primarily due to the significant age difference between the two—Saiee was 17 while Salman was 54 when they were paired on-screen. In a recent interaction, Saiee explained why the criticism didn’t affect her and described herself as “thick-skinned.”

In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Saiee revealed that for six months after the film’s release, she wasn’t very active on social media, which kept her away from the conversation. “I was oblivious to that discussion because that was the time I had just started, and I had no management, no PR, so I was unaware of all this. I was just happy to see myself on the big screen. But six months after the release of the film, when I became more active on Instagram, I saw everything that had happened, but since it was something that occurred six months ago, it didn’t affect me as much as it could have. I was in a different stage of my life and career at that point,” she shared.

She further elaborated, saying, “I’m a very thick-skinned person; things don’t affect me quickly. I’ve always been like that since childhood. Even today, if there is praise, I will be happy, and if someone says something negative, I will take note of it, but it won’t bother me deeply. I’ll just keep going.”

Dabangg 3 was met with mixed reviews from critics and performed moderately at the box office, making it the lowest-grossing film in the franchise. The movie was directed by Prabhu Deva.

On the professional front, Saiee was last seen in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu in lead roles. The film also featured Jimmy Sheirgill and Shantanu Maheshwari in pivotal roles.
