'Dabangg' actress Sonakshi Sinha has already worked with superstars Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan, delivering hits in her ongoing tryst with the Hindi movie industry. The actress who recently won Filmfare award for Best Actress said she has had to work really hard to win the Black Lady. “I think I have to work really really hard for that. I got a chance once but did not get the award. I have to do lot of good work. And, when they will realise that I am worthy enough, I am sure they will give it to me.”

Soon to share screen space with director Anurag Kashyap in upcoming movie 'Akira', Sonakshi said she had to convince Kashyap to take up acting full time. “I was convincing him to become an actor. He has fit the role and character so well, you'll connect with him in that way because you'll actually be scared when you see him in screen. He is a great actor.”

Talking about her role in the movie she said, “This role was physically as well as emotionally very gruelling. Some of the sequences that we shot and some of the places we have shot in, I never imagined myself in situations like that before. So, probably my most challenging role so far,” Sonakshi revealed. “I had to train in mixed martial arts, had to just train for a month and half and I was ready. I had to really up my game. And luckily I have been into sports when I was a child, that's where the energy and the strength comes from and I really enjoy it. When something really pushes you to the edge and challenges you, that is when I get really excited. And 'Akira' has done that to me in so many ways, it's been a fantastic experience and so fulfilling,” she added.
