A Star in the Making | Harshaali Malhotra

All that you need to know about the industry’s current darling.

She came and she conquered. This little girl has taken the industry by storm. Young Harshaali who played the role of ‘Munni” in Salman Khan starrer ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ has garnered loads of praises for her beautiful portrayal of a Mute Pakistani girl who gets separated from her family and is left in alone in India.

Despite playing a mute girl, Harshaali is rather talkative in real life. Initially nervous to work with a huge star like Salman Khan, she quickly got over her inhibitions once the star interacted with her and made her feel comfortable. She has already worked in TV serials such as Jodha Akhbar, Savdhaan India and Qubool Hai. She started her career by doing a modelling assignment as a kid and then later worked in a few TV commercials. Currently in class 2, she manages her studies along with her career and doesn’t have much trouble in juggling both acting and her studies. Her mother, who is also her manager, says that she doesn’t want to drain her with meaningless roles. She’d rather that Harshaali take up few constructive roles that shape up her career.

Actor Salman Khan who was quite smitten by this little diva says she will give all the actresses a run for their money in the future. Being quite sensitive and at an impressionable age, she would tear up when Salman Khan would shoot any action sequences for the film. Even watching Salman Khan cry during their shoots, She couldn’t hold back her tears and would burst out. Then Director Kabir Khan would step in and patiently explain to her the dynamics of shooting and the difference between reel and real. Though it’s too early to say, but this little girl has become tinsel town’s latest darling. She hopes to become a star like Salman Khan one day. And who’s to say, with such an endearing performance, she might actually become one.
