There are many actors in Bollywood who left a lasting impact on the audience and now despite being in the industry for over two decades are remembered for some of their iconic characters. One such figure in Bollywood is Mahesh Manjrekar who is still remembered for roles like Inspector Daya Nayak in Kurukshetra Zafar Bhai in Slumdog Millionaire Raj Yadav aka Rajbhai in Dabangg and more. Just like Mahesh his daughter Saiee Manjrekar is also making heads turn after she made her debut in 2019 with Dabangg 3.
Saiee made her dream debut with Salman Khan and romanced the actor double her age. Sadly her debut film opposite Salman Khan — a sequel to the blockbuster franchise — failed to recreate the magic of its predecessors. She also faced heavy trolling for romancing Salman who is 37 years her senior.
Though the movie did not work well it did bring Saiee some fame. She was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her performance.

Meanwhile following her debut Saiee faced major backlash due to the age difference. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan Saiee revealed that she stayed off social media for six months following the film’s release.
“I was oblivious to that discussion because that was the time I had just started and I had no management no PR so I was unaware of all this. I was just happy to see myself on the big screen” she said.
Later in 2022 she worked in two films — Ghani and Major. Saiee has worked in Marathi Hindi Tamil and Telugu cinema.
Saiee also featured in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha which starred Ajay Devgn and Tabu in lead roles. Apart from films Saiee has also been a part of a music video called Manjha with Salman Khans brother-in-law Aayush Sharma. It was sung by Vishal Mishra.
