Now that’s what you call an honest professional. Film star Javed Sheikh’s daughter Momal Sheikh has hit the headlines for doing an Indian film, Happy Bhag Jaeygi. In case you are thinking that it was because of her father’s links in tinsel town that she bagged the role, well, you are terribly mistaken. At least this is what the actress is supposed to have said in a statement.

She says when the makers of the film got in touch with Javed S to inquire about her he said he never recommends his children to anyone because they should make their career on their own. After that, they got in touch with Momal S and she got the part ‘on her own’. How cool is that! So, if they didn’t know she’s his daughter, would they still have gotten in touch with her?
