Sonakshi Sinha has become one of the most celebrated and loved actresses to have hit the big screen in Bollywood. Right from her debut film, 'Dabangg' with Salman Khan to now, she has even had quite the ride experimenting with roles and characters that she has chosen to portray on the big screen. Sonakshi has worked in 17 films over the period of seven years and in an interview with a leading daily she had much to say about her journey so far.
"I couldn’t be happier. It has been a learning experience with each film and the people I have worked with. I have always tried to stay true to myself and who I am as a person and what my audience expect from me. I have done films on my terms and conditions and films that have excited me in some way or the other. There was a time when I did masala films and I managed to make a name for myself and then I did films which were completely on my shoulders. Now I can pick and choose which is why I feel I have grown in my career and couldn’t have asked for more. Seven years is a short period for an actor to do so many films and in that regard, my career has been a whirlwind," she said.
The actress is currently busy working on her next, 'Welcome To New York' and on the topic, she said, "Such a concept has never been done before or even heard about. We were told we would shoot the film while an actual awards ceremony was going on, as the story is about two commoners who get a chance to showcase their talent at the event. Other than going mad while shooting on and off stage which was fun, I loved the concept of the film as it has never been attempted in India before."
