I never try to fit in: Sonakshi Sinha

She has spent six years in the film industry, and at times, Sonakshi Sinha has worked around the clock to finish her shooting schedules. But the young actor, who calls herself “a workaholic”, has now decided to take things easy. “Last year was supposed to be a laidback one for me. I had resolved to take it easy in terms of work, and take more time out for myself. But, it probably was one of my busiest years,” says Sonakshi.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, she added that she had to juggle her film and TV commitments, but got some time off to rejuvenate. “I got time to do things for myself. For instance, I started learning to play the drums. I also took a break, and went to Australia on a holiday,” she said. While the actor has worked in several hit films, Sonakshi is known to be approachable in real life. Talking about it, the actor said, “Honestly, in this profession a lot is made up. Most of it is a farce about pleasing people... I just feel it's easier to be yourself than to add to what is already there. People can do what they want. I have never succumbed to any pressure. I never try to fit in.”

Apart from being a celebrated name in Bollywood, Sonakshi has also gained popularity on the small screen. And, the actor says she is glad she ventured into TV, and chose to judge a talent-based reality show. “It was a great experience. I started off with a show that was very well-received. People loved it, and the kids (participants) were fantastic. It was a talent-based show, so it was not frivolous,” said Sonakshi. The actor added that like films, television, too, is a big business today. “The small screen is not small anymore. It probably reaches more people than films. So, I'm really glad that I was one of the first actors to dive into it.”
