It’s been 12 years since Sonakshi Sinha entered the film industry, and it has taken that number of years for her to come into her own, and pave her own path on her terms. In fact, she confesses she is busy working on her own growth, instead of being in a race to ape someone else.
“Now, I feel like I have come into my own. Like, earlier, it used to be very excitable, and I used to take up a lot more on my plate than I could handle. My mind was buzzing (with things) constantly,” says Sonakshi, who made her debut in Bollywood with 'Dabangg' in 2010.
When it comes to her filmography, it is a case of hit and miss, with projects such as 'Rowdy Rathore', 'Lootera' and 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', 'Tevar', 'Akira', 'Noor', 'Force 2' and 'Kalank'.
Opening up about her present position, the 35-year-old says, “I’m in a more relaxed and comfortable space right now where I’m working on my own terms and conditions and doing what I want to do, not under any sort of pressure to kind of be like someone or achieve what somebody has achieved”.
Today, what works in her favour is everyone’s willingness to experiment. “This is the right time to experiment and take risks and do things that you’ve never done before. Because the audience’s mind has also opened up over the last few years, and they’re also more accepting of risk. It is a great time to be an actor”.
