A career boasting some of the most iconic performances and single hits, multi-talented Sonakshi Sinha clocks 10 years in Bollywood and takes to her social media to celebrate a decade of learning!
After working as a costume designer in her early career, Sonakshi made her acting debut in the action-drama film Dabangg (2010), which won her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
Sinha has played the romantic interest of the male protagonists in several top-grossing action-dramas, including Rowdy Rathore (2012), Son of Sardaar (2012), Dabangg 2 (2012) and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014). She gained critical acclaim for her portrayal of a woman suffering from tuberculosis in the romantic drama Lootera (2013).
Sonakshi took to her social media and wrote, “10 years and counting…I can’t believe it’s been 10 whole years since I first appeared on the silver screen. I remember being so unsure if this is really what I even wanted to do… but you know what erased all that doubt? The love I received from all of YOU! Your love encouraged me, your criticism pushed me to do better”
“My hard work sustained me, and my respect for my work nudged me forward. My enthusiasm on set aided me, my hunger to learn propelled me. Here I am, 10 years down the line, so grateful for every film, every experience – good or bad, every person i have ever worked with! Thank you! Thank you to this industry, thank you to my audience, and thank you universe! This is just the beginning…” read the full note.
In addition to acting in films, Sinha has sung a small part in the Imran Khan song “Let’s Celebrate” in her film Tevar (2015). She has also sung the single “Aaj Mood Isqholic Hai” and sung in a total of four of her films.
