A new heroine made her way into Bollywood last Friday. Saiee Manjrekar made her debut with Salman Khan's Dabangg 3. Saiee is Mahesh Manjrekar's daughter, so of course, there was hype around her since a star kid was making her debut. Other than that, the first film in the Dabangg franchise had successfully launched Sonakshi Sinha into stardom, which only added to hype around Saiee's debut. Not much information about the actress was available online. And things that were there on the internet, were up for questions. For instance, an earlier Google search showed her age as 21, born on August 29, 1998. But that is neither her correct age not her real birth date.

Saiee recently celebrated her birthday on in the presence of her Dabangg co-stars Salman and Sonakshi. Saiee's birthday is on December 24. A day before Christmas. And she is just 18 years old. Pictures and videos of her birthday cake reveal her age. And her mother, Marathi actress, Medha Manjrekar also wished her darling daughter on her 18th birthday.
Yes, so when Saiee Manjrekar shot for Dabangg 3, she was merely 17-years-old. In the movie, which also serves a as a prequel, she plays lead character Chulbul Pandey's love interest when he was younger. It is mentioned in the film that her character is 17 years old.
