Their
Meeting
In
Panvel
Mouni
met
Salman
at
his
Panvel
farm
house
along
with
another
television
actor
and
told
him
how
serious
she
was
about
her
career.
He
immediately
agreed
to
take
up
her
cause.
Salman
Felt
Mouni
Deserved
A
Big
Bollywood
Break
The
report
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Salman
made
Daisy
Shah
the
lead
actress
in
Jai
Ho
and
has
launched
the
singing
career
of
Iulia
Vantur.
He
has
seen
Mouni's
work
and
felt
she
deserved
a
big
Bollywood
break."
He
Got
Her
An
Audition
The
source
further
added,
"It
is
he
who
spoke
to
someone
from
the
unit
of
Gold
and
got
her
an
audition.
Of
course,
Mouni
did
well,
subsequently
bagging
the
part."
Everything
Happens
For
A
Reason
When
Mouni
was
asked
how
she
felt
when
she
bagged
the
film,
she
told
HT,
"I
couldn't
be
happier.
I
couldn't
get
luckier.
It
couldn't
have
been
better.
This
is
as
good
as
it
gets.
I
am
so
excited
to
be
part
of
Gold,
a
film
starring
Akshay
sir.
I
had
auditioned
and
had
been
shortlisted
for
a
lot
of
other
films,
but
nothing
worked
out.
I
believe
everything
happens
for
a
reason
and
I
guess
this
was
supposed
to
be
my
start."
Will
She
Continue
To
Work
On
Television?
To
this,
Mouni
had
said,
"Of
course.
Like
I
said,
TV
has
given
me
my
life.
I
want
to
do
films
because
I
love
cinema
and
love
what
I
do.
I
want
to
explore
what
I
can
do
in
terms
picking
up
a
character
and
living
it
to
the
fullest
in
a
film.
But
yes,
TV
has
given
me
everything.
I
want
to
stick
with
good
old
soaps."
While
Mouni
stole
everyone's
hearts
on
the
small
screen,
will
she
be
able
to
recreate
a
similar
magic
on
celluloid?
