Elli, 25, rose to fame after participating on the seventh season of celebrity reality show "Bigg Boss".
It was during the show that Elli got to know Salman, who was the series' host. The 49-year-old "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" star's fondness for her was not hidden from anyone.
"I would really want a film with Salman to happen. I really admire him and I am sure it is going to happen when the right time comes," Elli told PTI on the sidelines of the Lakme Fashion Week.
She is currently gearing for the release of "Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu" in which she is paired opposite comedian-turned-actor Kapil Sharma. The film will mark the Bollywood debut of the "Comedy Nights With Kapil" star.
