Mahima Makwana: Meeting with Salman Khan played a big role

Salman Khan and Mahima Makwana

The transition from television to the big screen is not an easy feat for many, but for Mahima Makwana, the dream was set in motion when she made an appearance on Bigg Boss to promote a show. "I believe that everything happens at the perfect time. When a film is made, a lot of stories are attached to it. My story began when I met Salman [Khan] sir on Bigg Boss. It feels surreal that a meeting back then played a big role in changing my life," says the actor, who plays Aayush Sharma's love interest in Antim.

Following a successful stint on television with Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, Rishton Ka Chakravyuh, Mariam Khan and Shubharambh, Makwana made her debut in Telugu films with Venkatapuram (2017). She then forayed into digital entertainment with Rangbaaz 2. Entering Bollywood with the Mahesh Manjrekar's directorial film and sharing screen space with Khan is nothing short of "magic" for the actor. "It only takes a second for life to change. Salman sir and Mahesh sir believed in me. Manda [her character] is a performance based role. It's a perfect blend of content and commerce, every frame and scene has been designed to stay in your minds forever," adds Makwana, who feels like her dream has come true.
