Sinha calls Khan a 'sutradhar'
When asked if Khan was a matchmaker, Sinha said he wasn't. "Not really a matchmaker. We met at a party at his house, so kind of like a sutradhar." She also spoke about her initial days in Bollywood, particularly her debut film Dabangg. "I felt so weird, mujhe pata nahi kaha pe laake chhod diya tha. I was so unprepared... But destiny obviously had these plans for me and once I started, there was no looking back."
