You realise his power of stardom and fame when you start working with him. It's nothing less than a magnum opus but he's such a fun person to be around. I thought he'll be intimidating, I still get intimidated by him though but it was so much fun working with him and it was nothing less than a dream. The other day when we were at the trailer launch, that time it sunk in you know that it has happened for real. I've had the opportunity to start with Antim as it marks my Bollywood career."

Furthermore, the Shubharambh actress also revealed what she learnt from Salman Khan on a personal level while working in Antim: The Final Truth. Mahima Makwana said that the megastar taught her to remain grounded despite achieving immense success.

She said, "There's this advice that he himself gave me that how I should not let the success into my head. And how I've to keep going ahead no matter what the situation is like. He also reminded me to remind myself from where I started from. To always stay grounded and at the same time he's someone who's absolutely dedicated. Look at his journey, he's entertained more than 3 and a half decades. I think to sustain like that is really difficult and I'm sure he had faced his own obstacles. So I think to be at it, be resilient, be courageous and to be yourself is something that I've learnt from him because he speaks his mind. He speaks what he has to say. I think his honesty and straightforwardness is something that I've learnt."
