The daughter of Bollywood actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha forayed into the Hindi film industry with Salman Khan-starrer `Dabangg` in 2010.
Bollywood's "Shotgun Junior` shared her sentiments in an interview on show "Born Stylish" with host and designer Pria Kataaria Puri.
She said: `To be honest, I wanted to be an astronaut, my math was so bad though that no institute would have given me admission. I love sports, I like to swim and play tennis so I also thought of becoming a swimmer once."
`Being in fashion designing, I used to sketch well, I thought of becoming an artist also but eventually, I landed up being an actress. There were a lot of people from different walks of life who inspired me while making a career choice. I was always a courageous girl!`
A simple dialogue like `Thappad se darr nahi lagta saab ji. pyar se lagta hai` from `Dabangg` is still a rage among cinema buffs.
The actress, who is busy shooting for her upcoming films `Akira` and `Force 2`, says she `never thought a heroine can get famous for her dialogue`.
She said: `For me, the switch from fashion to cinema was all destiny. Arbaaz (Khan) spotted me at one of the fashion shows and approached me for the movie 'Dabangg', though I never wanted to be there, it was an offer I could not say no to. I had never thought a heroine can get famous for her dialogue; my father's expertise has clearly rubbed-off on me`.
