Stardom is her genetic gift. Newfind Sonakshi Sinha holds the distinction of being the daughter of Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha, a fact that has stood her in good stead when she decided to opt for a career in the business of histrionics. Furthermore, she's managed to bag Salman Khan as mentor! No mean feat considering that Khan's turned unofficial personal trainer and painting guide too, to hone Sonakshi's skills as an artist.
How would you describe your character Lajjo in 'Dabangg'?
My character is about a strong and silent girl. Even Lajjo is 'dabangg' like the name of the movie suggests and all the characters in the movie are also 'dabangg'. When Lajjo comes into Chulbul Pandey's life, she gets positivity along with her. Chulbul Pandey is a weird man and she gets him to the right track.
How do you look back at the filming experience?
I had a very nice experience. There couldn't be a better start than this for me. I have a certain comfort level with Salman.
Were you nervous initially>?
Frankly speaking, I wasn't nervous, because my three teachers Arbaaz (Khan), Abhinav (Kashyap) and Salman took me through the film very nicely so it became very easy for me. They made sure that I was very comfortable while shooting.
Did your mentor Salman pamper you a lot on the sets?
Actually Salman was my co star, all the pampering is usually done by the producer. So I would only say that Arbaaz did not leave any chance to pamper me. I was very much pampered on the sets.
What was your first shot for 'Dabangg'?
The first shot was very easy. As Abhinav knew I wasn't trained in acting, he made sure all the easy scenes were done first and then the difficult ones. So the first scene was a walking shot were I had to go to the hospital and Salman was in the frame
