"At one point I used to get frustrated, you pointed out right. But later on, I understood that it's a blessing and that blessing you've to pay it or return somehow. Good or bad, you've to pay for it. Because I got that kind of support, I had to work harder. But life got me here. Initially, it was a scary kind of experience because I didn't know what is going to happen. I left my whole career in Romania when I was at the peak of it. But it's been going good over here, and I'm happy about it."

In the same interview, Iulia was asked about being addressed as bhabhi and being linked to Salman Khan by many Indians. Expressing her take on this, Iulia said that earlier people didn't know who she was so they used all kinds of tags. However, now that they know her and her work, she is happy about that. In her words:
"I love India and its people. I fell in love with the people and the work they do, and the hospitality I've received. Initially no one knew anything about me, what my career was! Probably in the beginning, there were many tags which were not my tags, which were misinterpreted but that doesn't matter. Later on, people started understanding me and got it what I m and who I am. That actually gives me more satisfaction because from that perspective, that was not easy. Now it feels really good when people say - now I know who you are!"

Talking about her linkup rumours with Salman Khan, Iulia Vantur praised the actor and called him a great teacher. Elaborating on the same, Iulia said that Salman understands the struggle of a newcomer like no one else as he himself struggled a lot in the beginning. She added:
"Salman Khan is a great teacher. Anything you want to understand in life, he has these ten things and different methods to make you understand from a totally different perspective. The way he understands the struggle of a newcomer, it's interesting. He himself has struggled a lot in the beginning. Even though he was coming from a solid background in the movie industry, he struggled himself as a background dancer. He did everything to make a name for himself."
According to a report in Bollywood Life, Salman Khan and Iulia Vantur had met for the first time in Romania when the actor had accompanied his brother, Sohail Khan for their film, Jai Ho. The two had spent some time together and thus, had bonded pretty well. Following that, Salman and Iulia had been in touch even after he had returned from Romania. Looks like the actor is ready to settle down in life, and with Iulia having a special place in his life, we might hear the wedding bells in the Khan family soon.
