Sonakshi won't compromise her values: Shatrughan

Sonakshi won't compromise her values: Shatrughan Sinha

Did you notice Sonakshi's Indian look in Dabangg? It was no accident. Her father Shatrughan Sinha says the newcomer will continue to depict Indian women in her upcoming projects.

"People are praising her look in Dabangg. After a long time a typical Indian heroine was seen onscreen. Sonakshi will continue to do roles that are within the boundaries of self-respect. She will not compromise her values for some rat race. She is in no hurry," Sinha says.

The actor-politician feels that right attitude is more important than short clothes to portray a character onscreen. Sinha is happy with daughter's rise to fame with her very first film. Sonakshi has already signed another film with Salman Khan, her co-star in Dabangg, besides bagging projects with directors like Farah Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Sajid Nadiadwala. She is also in Race 2.

But the actor, who ruled the screen in the 70 and 80 despite his unconventional looks, does not fear being eclipsed by his children.

"I don't think I am afraid of being overshadowed by them. Parents never get insecure about their children's success. I would love to be overtaken by them," he says.

Sinha's son Luv also made his debut last year with Raj Kanwar's Sadiyaan but the film failed to make any mark at the box office unlike Sonakshi's debut.

"I had liked the subject of the movie and Luv got the role on his own. Rajkawar is a great director but film's release was not timed well. It was IPL season and instead of watching a movie of a newcomer people opted to watch cricket. But Luv is not disheartened. He is in Chennai working out details for his next film," Sinha adds.

Shotgun will next be seen opposite screen diva Rekha in Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai and though his political assignments keep him busy, Sinha says he will never say goodbye to acting.

"How can I deny the actor in me? It is a big part of who I am. I will continue doing films."

Well then she should stay far away from Farah and her item girl syndrome.

I know if her father is saying she shouldn't compromising his values then she needs to make sure she don't wear revealing clothes when she does her item song which seriously I don't like the idea.

Agree! And I loved her in Dabangg, she was like a breath of fresh air. If she does an item number it should be more Indianised and not overexposing.

He says this then the next film his daughter signs is Race 2. 🤔 Is she going to bewearing sarees in that as well? Hah.

I am not a huge fan of her but i liked her look in dabangg. it was traditional and pretty. buut where is her traditional look at award shows lol? 😆 she wears short dresses there 😕
