Shatrughan Sinha said Sonakshi proved herself in ways he never could

In the past, veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha remarked that by acting in 'Noor,' his daughter and actress Sonakshi Sinha had proven that she could accomplish things he never could. Shatrughan didn't watch all of his daughter's films, but he did watch 'Noor,' and couldn't stop raving about her performance.

Shatrughan Sinha remarked that he was speaking not just as a father but also as a co-artist. He acknowledged that, while he was supposedly a great actor, Sonakshi Sinha had proven she could do things he never could. He expressed his happiness by saying that Sonakshi Sinha had managed to make a very difficult part look easy, noting that it wasn't easy to portray someone so sloppy and full of herself. Shatrughan confessed that he watched his daughter's performance nervously.

The film was directed by Sunhil Sippy and is based on Saba Imtiaz's novel 'Karachi, You're Killing Me!'.

The proud father revealed Sonakshi's performance, expressing,As I watched her performance, I thought she would slip up and stumble. But Sonakshi kept the character going on an even graph even when the character was making one mistake after another. I applaud Sonakshi's performance because, as an actor, I know how difficult her role is."

He further revealed her growth in performance: "Oh yes! The kind of roles. To bring so much dignity into the role of such a clumsy character is not easy. I think this is Sonakshi's best performance since 'Lootera'. I had been bowled over by my daughter in 'Lootera'. Again, I am impressed by what she has done in 'Noor'."

The proud father recalled how superstar Salman Khan had predicted Sonakshi's stardom, mentioning, "During 'Dabangg', Salman had said Sonakshi would be such a big star that every girl in the audience would want to be like her. Now in 'Noor', she plays such an aspirational character. She portrays the uncertainties of a young city girl trying to find her bearings with such sensitivity. Every working girl would identify with her. She is with Salman, doing world-wide concerts. We are really proud of her."
