Working with top stars has shaped me as an actor says Sonakshi Sinha

She made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan and collaborated with Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn in multiple films and Sonakshi Sinha says she has learnt a lot about her craft while working with these stars.

When asked if she is happy with the way her career has shaped up post her debut “Dabangg”, Sonakshi says her initial films helped her establish herself as a commercial heroine. “It has been a great journey. My first film put me in the spot as a quintessential Hindi film heroine, a commercial heroine. After that, I kept getting such films. I really enjoyed them. Whatever I have learnt, I have learnt on the job through these films,” she told PTI in an interview here.

“Working with these people who have so much experience and who have been in the industry for so long was good for me. There was so much to learn and take back from them. Working with them has shaped me as an actor. A certain following is there because of the films that I have done.”

Besides helping her with acting, Sonakshi, 29, says her films with the stars has also instilled a confidence in her to carry a movie on her shoulder like she did in “Akira” and the upcoming Sunhil Sippy-directed “Noor”, releasing this Friday.
