Sonakshi confirms now a great time to take risks in Bollywood.
From Sonakshi — who was recently seen in an action avatar in “Akira” — to Alia Bhatt, Shraddha Kapoor, Deepika Padukone to Anushka Sharma… Bollywood’s women brigade is seen exploring new cinematic zones with each of their projects when Sonakshi confirms now a great time to take risks in Bollywood.
“If there is any time to take risk, it is now with films, filmmaking and characters, because we never know what clicks with the audience. And every time you give them something different, they accept it and lap it up,” Sonakshi told.
The 29-year-old actress feels the gender scale of the industry will find a balance soon as Sonakshi confirms now a great time to take risks in Bollywood.
“It is a very good time to be a girl in the industry because they are making characters for women. Roles keeping women in mind, and scripts are being written for women. So, I feel that way it is definitely on a rise,” she said.
Many would think that Sonakshi — daughter of actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha — had it easy in the entertainment world considering her “star kid” tag. But considering how she was body-shamed, it hasn’t been an easy ride when Sonakshi confirms now a great time to take risks in Bollywood.
However, she always let her work speak for her talent, starting from her debut film “Dabangg” to subsequent hits like “Rowdy Rathore”, “Lootera” and “Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty”.
The actress will next be doing some heavy duty action scenes as a RAW agent in “Force 2”, and then will be seen as a journalist in “Noor” as Sonakshi confirms now a great time to take risks in Bollywood.
Sonakshi says the fact that the projects are diverse, gives her professional satisfaction.
“I feel there has been a visible shift in the kind of films being made, with challenging roles… So, I feel there is a lot to choose from. Honestly, I made a promise to myself that ‘Akira’ onwards, I only want to do roles that challenge me in one way or another,” she said, adding that “whether it is ‘Akira’ or ‘Force 2’ or ‘Noor’, they all challenge me in some way or the other” when Sonakshi confirms now a great time to take risks in Bollywood.
