Salman Khan not only played the role of a corrupt cop in Dabangg but also played a trainer to Sonakshi Sinha,daughter of Shatrughan Sinha who makes her debut with the film.Everyday during the shooting of the film in Panchgani,Salman used to make her walk all the way from the location to the hotel and take her to the gym regularly.Sonakshi is grateful to Salman for her new look and the weight she has lost.
Our source said,The unit of Dabangg used to stay in a hotel in Panchgani while the location was a good one hour away from the hotel.Salman has been extremely caring towards Sonakshi and he was the one who inspired her to enter Bollywood.He was keen that Sonakshi lose some weight and thats why after the shoot he used to make her walk all the way till the hotel.He also made her eat only salads and work out regularly.
When contacted Sonakshi said,Yes,he used to make me walk from the location to the hotel and sometimes from the hotel to the location.It was a good one hour walk up the ghat.Salman is very particular about my fitness and he has been responsible for losing weight and getting into the films in the first place.He took over as my trainer and after shooting he used to make me do weights or play tennis.He shifted his gym equipment there so that we could work out together.
Sonakshi adds,It was not that I was lazy or something but I always need someone to motivate me.Salman did that and we used to do weights together.He guided me to concentrate on my legs during workout and we also did quite a few abs as well.
Sonakshi finally said,I used to eat only salads as it is genetic for me to gain weight,but for him he used to eat everything.During the lunch breaks,he wont allow me to come near him when he ate all the yummy food.I stuck to my salads,but I still need to work harder. Well,glamour is back-breaking work,honey!
