Harshaali Malhotra aka Munni from Bajrangi Bhaijaan was certainly the star of the film. Playing the little kid in the film who is rescued by Salman, Harshaali is totally opposite to her on screen character. She's not quiet, instead the little girl is quite talkative and playful in real life. 

Talking about her experience of working with Salman Khan, she said, "I always wanted to work with Salman uncle. But now, I have decided to call him Salman mama." The child artist has bowled people over with her terrific performance and was also supposed to star in a small role in Salman's next Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.

"Actually, Harshaali was there in the film. But it was a very small role. We had even done the photo-shoot for the film. She was one of those kids who would have played the childhood role. But after doing such a pivotal role in one of the biggest films, it would not be right for her to do such short roles. I won't approve such minute roles anymore," her mother explains. 

She also told us that she herself spoke to Salman about the same. "I directly spoke to Salman and he was gracious enough to understand our point. We had not even started shooting. She was signed for that role much before Bajrangi Bhaijaan happened. Now that the film has released, even Salman feels that she should not do such a small role which will hardly make any impact. They have chosen some other kid to do the role in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo," her mother told us.

Does that mean she will not do small appearances anymore? "If the role makes an impact and the banner is good, then obviously. But I won't let her just do a five-minute role playing someone's childhood character. It does not make any sense now." 

Harshaali started off from TV and had acted in serials like Qubool Hai and Laut Aao Trisha but now that BB has got her the recognition, her mother says TV isn't an option anymore. "No, I don't want her to do any TV serials anymore. If there's a reality show which might suit her character, then we might take it up."
