Since Prem Granth's release, Saloni has grown up to become a stunning woman and her transformation will surely leave you amazed.
Sharing a fun fact, she then wrote: "I have a "nickname" (Tina) and a "first name" (Saloni) - of course, nobody at home calls me Saloni. Little me didn’t realise that I didn’t have to introduce myself with both names, so when I met people, I always said "Hi, my name is Tina and Saloni"."
‘प्रेमग्रंथ’च्या सेटवरच्या अनेक आठवणीही यानिमित्ताने सलोनीने शेअर केल्यात.

Evidently, her sense of humour won my sense of logic. Do you have a nickname, cupcakes? ALSO... how is she THIS beautiful #madhuridixit #premganth #memories #throwback #throwbackwednesday #bollywood #india #nickname #childhoodmemories."
