It s important to rise above looks, says Sonakshi
New Delhi May 2 (IANS) Actress Sonakshi Sinha who has often been body-shamed says it is important for the audience to rise above looks and delve deeper into an artiste s work.
Sonakshi is all for the fact that one s work speaks for itself.
The actress who walked the ramp at the launch of Streax Professional s Spring Summer 2018 Collection ‘Marigold in an orange floor-sweepimg gown on Tuesday told IANS: "We should tell the audience and honestly that is something I have advocated since the starting of my career."
"I have always been projecting a very strong body image. Being true to yourself... I have been bodyshamed quite a bit but moving ahead of that because that is what I have always believed in...That it s not how you look but how you do and about how many people you reach out to " she added.
While the media here waited for a conversation with the actress who had flown in from Kuala Lumpur to be a part of the event there was chatter about Sonakshi s weight loss and "sculpted body".
Don t such comments and questions on weight annoy her?
"I have been answering questions on my weight loss for so long that I have become indifferent to them. There are certain things that seem odd at the moment but I am kind of used to it " said Sonakshi.
"And it s okay it s part of my profession. These are very basic things that people are interested in which is why they ask. They are I guess the most obvious questions " added the actress who will next be seen in "Happy Phirr Bhaag Jaayegi" "Kalank" and "Dabangg 3".
