Gauahar Khan debuted back in 2009 with the film Rocket Singh: Salesman of the year where she starred opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Post which she went on to be a part of many films. In a recent interview, the actress went on to share about her debut. The actress said that she believes if film would have released today it would get all the due praise. She also revealed that Ranbir’s late father Rishi Kapoor appreciated her performance and said that she was the best thing about the film.

Gauahar said, “I think the times have changed. If Rocket Singh had to release today. If it had released today, I would probably have been the next superstar to hit the market.”

The actress added, “I remember Rishi jis pointed at me and said ‘Baaki sab choro, baaki sab choro. Yeh ladki, she is the best thing in the film. The way she picks up calls in the film, it does not look like she's acting. She looks like an actual receptionist from a call-centre’. I was just that Rishi ji is talking about me! He spoke about me for 45 minutes! Of course, I do not expect anyone else to remember that, but I remember that.”

She further spoke about how she feels that she wouldn’t have been at the place where she is today if she didn’t debut with Rocket Singh. She continued, “If I had not debuted with Rocket Singh, I would not be the actor I am today. I was exposed right at the beginning to a director like Shimit Amin, and the production house YRF treated me really well, Jaideep Sahni helped me recognise and realise the actor I am. He told me not to change nor to be after who I co-star with, but focus on the instincts of an actor.”

Directed by Shimit Amin, the film released in December 11, 2009.
