While she’s been a part of commercially successful films like Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore, R… Rajkumar, Sonakshi has never shied away from trying to do something different with films like Akira, Noor and Khandaani Shafakhana. Her upcoming films – Kakuda and Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness too have raised curiosity among her fans.
About her choice of films, Sonakshi says, “I think I have been an instinctive actor. If there is a film I like to watch, I would like to be a part of it too. There has never been a strategy. I have always wanted to do the work that I wanted to do. I picked up roles that I feel would challenge me or make me try something new or different.”
As she looks back at her journey, Sonakshi says, “I am very happy with my journey; I have had my ups and downs. And I am proud of both the phases equally because everything I did it taught me something or the other and I am happy about that. Here I am… still standing today so kuch toh sahi hi kiya hoga.”
The actress recently teamed up with her brother Kussh S Sinha as he turned director with Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness. Talking about collaborating with her brother, Sona had said, “We had never worked together and had to remind each other ki hum ghar ke jhagde yahan pe nahi kar sakte (laughs). I had to remember that he is my director. So, for the first couple of days, it was a bit funny to see us trying to adjust and work around it. However, later, we got into the groove.”
