Sonakshi Sinha has disclosed her disinterest in entering politics, unlike her father, actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha. During a recent interview with Raj Shamani, when asked about her potential foray into politics, Sonakshi jokingly remarked, "No, because then you'll talk about nepotism there too."

The 36-year-old actress elaborated that one needs to possess a "people's person" persona to thrive in politics. However, she confessed that she is inherently a private individual. Sonakshi also acknowledged her lack of "aptitude" for politics, stating that joining a political party solely for the sake of it would serve no purpose.

“All jokes aside, I don’t think I would because I’ve seen my dad do it. I don’t think I have the aptitude for it. My dad is a very people’s person. I am a very private person, and you’ve to be a people’s person, you’ve to be there for them and this could be anyone, strangers from every part of the country, and I’ve seen my dad do that, so I don’t think I have that in me,” Sonakshi added.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonakshi Sinha is currently enjoying the success of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. In Bhansali’s OTT debut, Sinha played the role of Fareedan, who is formidable, shrewd and sardonic. She essays the role of the daughter of Mallikajaan’s elder sister, who had a catastrophic end.
