Salman Khan Believed in Me & Trusted My Abilities: Iulia Vantur
In an exclusive interview, Romanian actress and singer Iulia Vantur opened up about her association with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The talented artiste has been a part of several projects with Khan, including the 2017 film “Tubelight” and the 2019 reality show “Dus Ka Dum”. However, some critics have often accused that her association with the Indian film industry’s most popular star has overshadowed her own work.
But Iulia Vantur is quick to brush off such claims, crediting Khan for believing in her abilities and trusting her talent. In a candid conversation, she shared her thoughts on her association with the “Dabangg” star, her journey in Bollywood, and the challenges she faced as a foreigner trying to make a mark in the Indian film industry.
“I am grateful that he believed in me and trusted my abilities,” Vantur said, speaking about Khan’s role in her career. “All I can say is that I feel honoured to have been guided by someone who has such vast experience in the industry. He’s been a mentor to me, and I’ve learned a lot from him.”
Vantur, who met Khan at a charity event in 2014, quickly became a part of his inner circle. The two have been in a relationship for several years now, and Vantur has often been seen attending Khan’s film premieres and other events. Despite her close association with the actor, Vantur has managed to carve out a niche for herself in the industry, taking on roles in films like “O Teri” and “Main Aur Charles”.
However, Vantur admits that there have been times when she felt overshadowed by Khan’s immense popularity. “Of course, it’s natural to feel that way,” she said. “But I’ve always tried to focus on my own work and not let anyone else’s success distract me. I’ve been lucky to have had the support of my loved ones and colleagues, who have always encouraged me to pursue my dreams.”
One of the biggest challenges Vantur faced in her journey was adjusting to the Indian way of life. As a Romanian artiste, she had to adapt to a new culture, language, and work ethic. “It was definitely tough at the beginning,” she said. “I had to learn Hindi, adjust to the Indian food, and get used to the fast-paced nature of the film industry. But I’ve always been a curious person, and I’ve loved learning new things. It’s been an incredible experience so far.”
Vantur’s association with Khan has also led to her involvement in several charity initiatives. The couple has been involved in various social causes, including education and healthcare for underprivileged children. “Salman has always been very passionate about giving back to society,” Vantur said. “I’ve learned a lot from him about the importance of philanthropy and using one’s platform to make a positive impact.”
As Vantur looks back on her journey, she is grateful for the opportunities she’s had and the people who have supported her along the way. “I feel blessed to have been a part of this industry,” she said. “It’s been a rollercoaster ride, but I’ve loved every moment of it. I’m excited to see what the future holds, and I’m grateful to have had the support of my loved ones and colleagues.”
In conclusion, Iulia Vantur’s association with Salman Khan has been a defining moment in her career. Despite the challenges she faced, Vantur has managed to carve out a niche for herself in the Indian film industry, taking on roles in films and television shows. Her gratitude towards Khan for believing in her abilities and trusting her talent is palpable, and it’s clear that she has learned a great deal from her association with the superstar.
