Sonakshi Sinha, an Indian actress renowned for her work in Hindi films, embarked on her career as a costume designer in independent cinema. She made her acting debut in the 2010 action film “Dabangg,” which earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Sinha rose to fame by portraying leading roles in male-dominated action films like “Rowdy Rathore,” “Son of Sardaar,” “Dabangg 2,” and “Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty.” Her exceptional performance as a character afflicted with tuberculosis in the period drama “Lootera” garnered critical acclaim and a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. However, she experienced a series of commercially unsuccessful films after this, with “Mission Mangal” in 2019 being a notable exception.
In addition to acting, Sinha delved into singing, starting with a song in the film “Tevar” in 2015. She released her debut single, “Aaj Mood Ishqholic Hai,” in the same year. Sinha was born into a family with a background in the film industry, as her father is the renowned actor Shatrughan Sinha. She completed her education in fashion design and began her career as a costume designer, but her acting debut in “Dabangg” marked her transition into the world of acting.
Throughout her career, Sinha has seen both success and challenges, with her performances receiving mixed reviews, but she remains a prominent figure in the Indian film industry. She has also ventured into various endorsements and launched her own nail brand, SOEZI, in 2022. Apart from her professional endeavors, Sinha is known for her advocacy for animal welfare and her efforts to break stereotypes related to body size.
In the media, she has been featured in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list and has been recognized for her contributions to Bollywood cinema. Her journey in the entertainment industry continues to evolve, and she remains a notable figure in the Indian film landscape.
