This
is
what
grooming
does
to
you.
No
raw
edges,
no
slip
of
tongue,
no
nervous
moments
-
just
a
confident
conversation
which
is
not
business
like
but
doesn't
come
anywhere
close
to
being
frivolous.
Sonakshi
Sinha,
the
latest
entrant
in
Bollywood,
pretty
much
appears
familiar
with
the
rules
of
the
game.
The
grooming
that
she
has
received
from
her
parents
-
Poonam
and
Shatrughan
Sinha
-
is
very
much
on
display
in
the
way
she
handles
a
barrage
of
questions
coming
her
way.
No
wonder,
she
is
different
from
the
starry
eyed
newcomers
who
make
an
entry
in
Bollywood
month
after
month.
Casual
about
the
presence
of
a
mighty
co-star
like
Salman
and
describing
her
relation
with
him
as
a
friend
rather
than
a
fan,
Sonakshi
shares
with
this
correspondent
her
happiness
around
the
positive
start
that
her
career
has
taken
with
her
debut
film
already
carrying
great
vibes.
Sonakshi,
you
were
pretty
much
kept
under
the
wraps
for
most
part
of
the
making
of
Dabangg.
Still,
considering
the
fact
that
you
were
working
with
none
less
than
Salman
in
your
very
first
film,
didn't
you
ever
feel
like
'Ok,
let
me
make
a
little
more
noise
about
this'?
This
was
actually
a
strategic
move
and
something
that
happens
with
every
debutant.
The
idea
behind
staying
undercover
was
to
enhance
the
curiosity
factor.
There
is
no
point
talking
for
months
at
stretch
when
a
bigger
impact
can
be
created
in
much
lesser
time
around
the
release.
Well,
given
the
buzz
which
is
pretty
much
on
display
today,
one
can
realize
the
impact
for
sure.
However,
the
film
has
taken
around
a
year
and
a
little
more
to
be
wrapped
up.
Didn't
you
ever
wonder
during
this
duration
that
when
would
the
film
get
complete
so
that
you
could
soon
be
seen
on
the
big
screen?
On
the
contrary,
I
had
such
a
good
time
filming
Dabangg
that
the
day
the
shoot
ended,
I
cried.
As
cliched
as
it
may
sound,
but
any
actor
would
tell
you
that
when
you
work
with
the
same
unit
for
a
year,
it
does
become
a
family
after
all.
You
do
interact
with
them
on
a
daily
basis
and
know
each
other
by
first
names.
Tomorrow
everyone
will
get
busy
with
different
things
but
time
spent
with
them
till
yesterday
is
the
one
to
be
relished.
Rest
assured,
you
would
have
relished
your
time
with
Salman
as
well,
right?
After
all
there
have
been
millions
of
girls
who
have
been
Salman
fans
since
childhood.
But
then
I
never
felt
like
Salman's
fan
even
once!
Yes,
I
do
respect
him
as
an
actor
and
look
up
to
him
because
there
was
so
much
to
learn.
Still,
I
have
always
felt
like
Salman's
friend
because
our
families
are
quite
close.
As
a
child
though
I
remember
growing
up
with
Maine
Pyaar
Kiya.
But
do
you
know
that
it
wasn't
because
of
Salman;
it
was
due
to
Bhagyashree.
I
was
a
special
fan
of
her
actually
and
always
remembered
her
as
Suman
'didi'.
So
during
your
growing
up
years
when
you
were
gearing
up
for
tour
Bollywood
launch,
how
did
the
conversations
go
at
home?
Was
it
a
part
of
everyday
family
conversation
during
last
few
years
when
your
launch
pad
was
being
decided?
Not
really.
We
have
very
normal
conversations
at
home
like
just
another
family.
We
don't
talk
about
films
all
the
time.
In
fact
my
dad
is
into
politics
so
we
talk
about
that
as
well.
It
could
be
just
about
everything
under
the
sun.
However,
once
you
decided
to
step
into
cinema,
how
did
you
go
about
preparing
for
your
role?
After
all
for
someone
who
has
lived
in
urban
Indian,
wasn't
it
a
cultural
shift
to
get
into
UP-Bihar
zone
for
Dabangg?
I
haven't
lived
in
UP
or
Bihar
but
I
am
well
aware
of
life
there.
We
have
a
modest
home
in
Patna
where
my
grandmother
used
to
stay.
Right
through
my
life
so
far,
I
have
visited
Patna
at
least
once
or
twice
a
year
so
life
there
is
not
alien
to
me.
Also,
I
have
been
there
multiple
times
with
my
father
as
well,
when
he
had
set
out
to
campaign
for
elections.
I
am
a
good
observer
and
the
culture
there
has
naturally
been
imbibed
into
my
behaviour.
Still,
when
you
got
into
a
rural
zone
for
Dabangg
for
your
very
first
film,
didn't
it
even
bother
you
that
you
could
get
slotted
in
a
certain
kind
of
roles?
Arrey,
it's
a
character
after
all.
One
should
not
be
thinking
too
much.
For
Dabangg,
the
makers
wanted
me
to
carry
a
certain
look
and
I
have
done
that
quite
naturally.
Wait
for
tomorrow,
I
could
be
seen
in
an
altogether
different
avatar.
It's
just
a
beginning
after
all.
