The frank and fearless Sonakshi Sinha talks to Aditi Rao about fame, feminism and being her own person.
Sonakshi Sinha doesn’t believe in playing second fiddle and this belief has stood her in good stead. If you’ve watched her as Salman Khan’s fiery love interest-turned-wife Rajjo in 2010’s Dabangg or kicking some serious butt in this year’s Akira, you’ll know what we are talking about.
It’s hard not to be drawn to her straight talking confidence, and it’s no surprise that she loves social media (“What is there to hide?”). Her unvarnished honesty doesn’t alienate you; instead you’ll always find yourself rooting for her.
Sinha has plenty to celebrate this year, including the thunderous response to Akira followed by the much-anticipated release of her newest film Force 2. In a span of just six years, not only has she established herself as a bankable star but she’s also attempted to reinvent herself with every film. She’s managed to find her happy place in her career and her personal life too. The best part about interviewing Sinha is that you don’t have to look at your questions. With her, it’s always a conversation— about movies, love and life. Edited excerpts:
With Akira and now Force 2, you seem to be steering your roles into the action space.
It is a coincidence that these movies were offered to me back-to-back. However, action is a genre I love to watch on screen. I’ve also been a part of many action films in the past like Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore, Son Of Sardaar, but it was always the heroes who got to do all the action sequences. And then Akira happened. From then on, I’ve decided to choose roles that challenge me in some form, whether it is playing a RAW agent in Force 2, a journalist in Noor (based on Saba Imtiaz’s book, Karachi, You’re Killing Me) or a character with grey shades like in Ittefaq (a remake of the 1969 murder mystery).
