Sonakshi Sinha: I am a funny person and I love to laugh and make people laugh

Sonakshi Sinha, who is currently occupied with the promotions of Welcome To New York, has done 17 films in seven years. Ever since her debut in Dabaang opposite Salman Khan in 2010, the actress has been entertaining with her charm and impressive acting skills.

In an interaction with a leading Indian daily, Sonakshi was asked about her Bollywood journey, she said, "I couldn’t be happier. It has been a learning experience with each film and the people I have worked with. I have always tried to stay true to myself and who I am as a person and what my audience expect from me. I have done films on my terms and conditions and films that have excited me in some way or the other. There was a time when I did masala films and I managed to make a name for myself and then I did films which were completely on my shoulders. Now I can pick and choose which is why I feel I have grown in my career and couldn’t have asked for more. Seven years is a short period for an actor to do so many films and in that regard, my career has been a whirlwind (laughs)."


Talking about Welcome To New York, the actress said, "Such a concept has never been done before or even heard about. We were told we would shoot the film while an actual awards ceremony was going on, as the story is about two commoners who get a chance to showcase their talent at the event. Other than going mad while shooting on and off stage which was fun, I loved the concept of the film as it has never been attempted in India before."

Speaking Diljit Dosanjh, who is her co actor in the film, Sonakshi said, "He is wonderful and talented as an actor, which he proved with his first Hindi film Udta Punjab (2016). His coming timing, too, is bang on in our film which is an out and out comedy. I enjoy comedy films. I am a funny person and I love to laugh and make people laugh."
