Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, who is receiving a lot of positive response for her streaming debut in ‘Dahaad’, shared her favourite moment from the series.

In the crime series, Sonakshi essays the role of a cop, Anjali Bhaati who comes from a lower caste and has been facing discrimination since her childhood.

Speaking about her favourite scene from the series, Sonakshi said: “My favourite scene is the one where we go to raid Anand’s father’s house and he does not let Anjali enter because he says that she’s from a lower caste and he won’t allow such people into the house. The way that scene was written – the dialogue was so powerful, it was really moving. It was really empowering for me as an actor to be able to say those lines and stand up for myself.”

She further mentioned: “I could feel the power of that one single line in my bones which said ‘This is not your pushto ka time. It’s Kayda-Kanun ka time, Samvidhan ka time (This is not the time of your ancestors, today things are judged and decided as per the law and Constitution). And as a cop, the Constitution has given me the right to enter your house. And if you try and stop me, I’ll put a case on you for trying to stop my investigation.’ So I think those were truly very powerful words written and the writers have done a fantastic job. And as an actor, for me, to execute it was extremely special.”

Directed by Reema Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi, ‘Dahaad’ is produced by Excel Media and Entertainment and Tiger Baby. The series is streaming on Prime Video.

Sonakshi unveils her fashion preferences

Just be comfortable, I think comfort is something that’s so underrated and I think we do a lot of things for fashion but I think it’s very important to be comfortable in which you carry yourself better…says Sonakshi Sinha

A repertoire in glamourous modernity, ITRH danced its way into hearts with its bold and free spirited collection ‘Dancing Queen’ at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI. An extension of its first disco collection which was a tribute to the original disco king Bappi Lahiri, Dancing Queen revisits the brand’s world of being extra yet chic!

Disco has always been a place where people embrace their inner glamazons and free spirits, it’s a place of utter disregard for societal norms towards sexuality, gender, and appropriation. It’s about breaking all the rules and rewriting them every time the beat changes. Keeping in tune with disco which has become inherent with the brand’s philosophy, ITRH aims at modernising disco for today’s generation through Dancing Queen.

“We are the late 80s’ babies, so disco has been an integral part of our growing years. Our first disco collection was a tribute to the original disco king Bappi Lahiri and we had the privilege to work with him in our campaign. Dancing Queen is an extension of it. We are modernising disco for today’s generation – being extra yet chic,” says Mohit Rai, Creative Director, ITRH.

Sonakshi Sinha was showstopper for the brand and took out a minute to speaking with IANSlife about her fashion preferences:

What did you love about your make-up, look and outfit?

Sonakshi: What not to love about it, I am feeling so special right now because I am shining, shimmering and collection is super fun as Mohit knows what’s look good on me as he is styling for the longest time and I am in love with it.

What one fashion accessory do you have in your bag right now which you can’t do without it?

Sonakshi: Flats, because once you are done with the heels just jump into flats.

What’s the best part about being a show stopper?

Sonakshi: The best part is all the attention, it’s very nice to put an end to the show where everybody is lively in a good mood, specially today, I think everybody out here came for ITRH as it’s a brand and it’s amazing how people conduct for him so everybody was enjoying and I was told to have a good time and that’s what exactly I get.

One style tip for women out there?

Sonakshi: Just be comfortable, I think comfort is something that’s so underrated and I think we do a lot of things for fashion but I think it’s very important to be comfortable in which you carry yourself better.

The skincare that you use daily?

Sonakshi: The moisturiser, because it’s very important to keep yourself hydrated.

What do you love about your outfit that you are currently wearing?

Sonakshi: I love the colours, I love the way it shines in the light and takes on different colours that’s what I like about it.

Share one bizarre thought you had before or while walking the ramp?

Sonakshi: While walking the ramp, actually thought my trail was very long so I thought when everybody else also comes on stage at the end, I just hope that nobody steps on it.

What’s one thing that people think about celebrities which is not true?

Sonakshi: There are lot of assumptions for celebrities out there to name a few like she has so much attitude, they don’t talk to people on their own, their managers do all the talking for them and there are too many to list but when you meet the celebrities I guess lot of people say that “you are not like how we thought you are.”

Trolls have no place in Sonakshi’s life

She adds that trolls are only people who hide behind their phones and spread negativity. They have no place in her life…writes Anjuri Nayar Singh.

Actress Sonakshi Sinha says that she doesn’t pay much heed to trolls. The actress adds that there was a point when what they said would really bother her, but it does not anymore.

“There used to be a time where I used to get really bothered by what is being said about me on social media by trolls and would react as well. But now I have reached a point where it doesn’t affect me at all and I have learned to move on,” she told.

She adds that trolls are only people who hide behind their phones and spread negativity. They have no place in her life.

“These guys sitting behind their phones and constantly spewing negativity aren’t important to me. My fans have been extremely supportive and that’s what matters. I have always been myself on social media and I will continue to keep it ‘asli’,” she says.

Meanwhile, Bollywood had a tough time last year due to the pandemic. Theatres were closed down and film shoots were halted. Sonakshi says that because of this situation OTT has grown, but a theatrical experience will always be special for her.

“Lockdown brought a lot of movies closer to viewers because of their digital releases, which has been great, and OTT viewership is definitely huge right now. But watching a movie on the big screen has a different charm altogether,” she says.

Now that work has resumed, Sonakshi says that it is important to be as careful as possible on the film set.

“It’s different but I guess everyone adapts when required. It’s your responsibility to be more cautious and to take all necessary precautions, especially when you’re working with so many people. Each person has to be responsible for the sake of the entire unit, and their family,” she says.

Currently, I am finishing my show for Amazon Prime produced by Excel and Tiger Baby. I also have ‘Bhuj: The Pride Of India’, which is up for release. A couple of other projects are being discussed. So, there is a lot of exciting stuff coming up!” she says.
