Sonakshi doesn't want to be Salman's arm candy

Salman Khan may act as the kindest souls at times, but he can also be very, very intimidating. The Bollywood bad boy image and his habit of childishly holding grudges for years can very well portray a daunting image.

The latest was that another B-Town hopeful Sonakshi, daughter of actor-MP Shatrughan Sinha was supposed to make her debut opposite Salman in a movie. And she was signed up by Salman"s doting brother Arbaaz Khan for his first production venture. The story narration and other details were taken care of and the debutante agreed to star in the film to be directed by Abhinav Kayshap.

But the upcoming star decided to do her research and arrived at a conclusion that all the heroines in Salman Khan"s flick were merely his arm candies and had no substantial role to play. Much like the extra sweet Bhumika Chawla and the very pretty Ash clone and non actress Sneha Ullal.

Sonakshi is from a filmi background and apparently knows much better. And she reportedly decided to opt out of the film. Maybe after a few talks with her dad Shatrughan and mum Poonam

Salman Khan"s camp has been saying that he considers the ongoing recession period not the right time to start a new venture. Whatever, young Sonakshi ain"t debuting with the much older macho man at all.

Well, that means we"ll be spared of the torture of seeing Salman running around trees with another fresh new wannabe. He"s been doing that for years and we"ve had enough of that.
