Sonakshi Sinha isn’t happy being called ‘maal’ in the past
Sonakshi Sinha was seen playing a dual role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s OTT debut project Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Both her characters, Rehana and Fareedan Jaan, were appreciated and accepted by the audience with open arms. As she enjoyed the love showered on her, the Dabangg actress reflected on her past choices.
While talking to Zoom, she said that as an artist, she had a responsibility. “There are a lot of people who look up to you. I do stand by the fact that yes, I was young and was getting the opportunity to be a part of some very big films. Nobody in their right mind would have said no at that point in time. So, I did them, but yes, certain things did feel off even then,” she stated.
Having said that, the Mission Mangal actress also added, “Then you grow and people notice it, talk about it, and bring it to your attention. It’s criticism, but it’s constructive.”
Further on in the interview, she said that as a young actress, she ended up doing things that she wouldn’t do today. Referring to being called ‘maal’ in one of her early hit films, she clarified that she has made a shift from choosing roles.
Sonakshi divulged, “You can very clearly see the shift in the kind of roles that I have been playing from Akira, so I have not just said it for the sake of saying it. I am staying true to my words. I don’t think I can ever go back to being called ‘maal’. It is a step everybody has to take.”
On the work front, the actress will be next seen in Kakuda followed by Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness.
