Get your daily lowdown on what's going on in the world of Bollywood, right here!
Salman Khan had been seen flirting with newcomer Elli Avram a number of times during her stint on reality TV show Bigg Boss, which the Dabangg star hosts.
"I will not take his (Salman's) proposal seriously," Elli joked.
The 23-year-old actress, who recently made her Bollywood debut opposite Manish Paul in Mickey Virus, said she does not know Salman well enough to think about a relationship with him.
"On a serious note, relationship and marriage is something huge in life which is between two people, who know and respect each other and have values," Elli said.
The Swedish actress has listed Shah Rukh Khan as her favourite and said she loves his 2002 film Devdas.
"I like Devdas the most because the love that is shown in the movie is so deep and beautiful, it is amazing. I have a crush on that movie," said Elli.
When asked about her experience in Bigg Boss, Elli said she is supporting wrestler Sangram Singh and hopes that he wins the show.
"Sangram is a very humble and nice man. My relationship with Kamya Panjabi was cold from the beginning, but I do not have any grudge against her," she said.
The actress also said that she has been reading film scripts but is yet to decide her next move in Bollywood.
"I have lot of offers from Bollywood but I am taking it slow," she said.
