Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of veteran star Shatrughan Sinha rose to fame with films like ‘Dabangg’, cast opposite to Salman Khan. However, she reveals that, although coming from a background where his father was an actor, she was not groomed to become an actor.
Starting from scratch..
Sonakshi recalls how she started her acting journey without any former experience or training in the field of acting.
At the 24th edition of FICCI Frames, Sonakshi said, “I have grown throughout my profession. I’ve learned through experience. I started completely from scratch. I had no experience of being on a film set. I used to not visit my dad’s sets when I was a child. I had no training, whether it was acting or dancing or anything. I was not groomed for it and I was thrown into the deep end of the pool and said ‘Okay now swim, and that’s how I learned’.”
She further stated that she enjoyed every bit of experience that she had gone through on set and cherishes the bond and connection she developed with the industry people over time.
Sonakshi’s Upcoming film
Sonakshi will be seen next in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Heeramandi’ as Farida.
Looking back, Sonakshi appreciates every single person she came across who has shaped her into becoming an actor, leading her to a position where a revered director like Sanjay Leela Bhansali came to her to offer the role of Farida for his upcoming film ‘Heeramandi’. Heeramandi will be released on Netflix and stars Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal apart from Sonakshi.
The actor added, “I’ve been working for the last 14 years and I’ve done all sorts of roles. I started with these commercial masala films which it was always about the hero, the hero, the hero. Which I’m not complaining about. It really gave me an audience. It gave me a far and wide reach. It gave me confidence. When I was able to kind of shoulder films on my own, that’s when I started playing really strong female characters, which were different from the others.”
