Mumbai, July 23: Romanian model, singer, and actress Yulia Vantur is now a well-known name in the Indian entertainment industry. While her identity is often linked to Salman Khan, Yulia has her own unique story. There was a time when she doubted her voice and her ability to sing in Hindi. During that period, Salman Khan recognized her potential and encouraged her to pursue her dreams.
Yulia has shared in various interviews that Salman’s faith in her helped her recognize her own talent.
Born on July 24, 1980, in Romania, Yulia was drawn to the glamour and media world from a young age. She began modeling at just 15 years old and gradually made a name for herself in Romania.

Upon arriving in India, Yulia faced the significant challenge of adapting to a new language and industry. Initially, she was primarily recognized as Salman Khan’s associate. Their meeting took place in 2010 in Dublin, where Salman was filming ‘Bodyguard,’ leading to discussions about their budding friendship.
Yulia mentioned in an interview that stepping into singing was not easy for her. She lacked confidence in singing in Hindi. However, Salman believed in her voice and hard work.
Salman Khan inspired Yulia to sing, boosting her self-confidence. She lent her voice to the song “Seeti Maar” from his film ‘Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai.’ Additionally, she has worked on various other music projects, establishing her identity as a singer.
