Sonakshi
Sinha,
who
is
all
set
to
woo
the
audience
with
her
next
film,
Welcome
To
New
York,
said
in
a
recent
interview
that
she
knows
that
her
films
are
not
giving
big
box
office
numbers
but
even
after
that,
she
is
happy
and
satisfied.
The
actress
told
DNA,
"I
am
still
the
golden
girl,
asli
sona
(laughs).
There's
nothing
to
deal
with.
I
am
doing
some
good
work,
whether
it
was
Akira,
a
character
like
Noor,
or
a
film
like
Ittefaq.
Yes,
earlier
there
was
a
trend
of
movies
like
Rowdy
Rathore
and
Son
Of
Sardaar,
but
now
is
the
time
to
experiment.''
''My
recent
films
may
not
have
done
big
numbers
box
office-wise,
but
creatively,
it
has
been
satisfying
to
be
a
part
of
them.
When
I
did
those
films,
people
said
I
had
nothing
much
to
do
in
them.
Now,
I'm
asked
why
I'm
not
doing
those
kinds
of
movies
anymore.
You
can't
please
everybody.
I
have
to
see
what
makes
me
happy
and
challenges
me.
Only
when
you
are
happy
and
balanced,
will
that
translate
on
screen."
When
asked,
are
you
missing
those
huge
box-office
numbers?
The
actor
replied,
"Even
when
I
was
getting
those
figures,
they
did
not
matter
to
me.
What
matters
to
me
is
the
love
of
the
audience.
Lootera
didn't
do
big
numbers,
but
even
today,
whenever
somebody
meets
me,
that
is
the
first
film
they
mention
to
me.''
''The
box-office
figures
are
based
on
how
many
people
have
seen
your
film,
how
many
screens
it
was
released
in
-
a
lot
of
factors
are
involved.
Ittefaq
was
in
a
different
genre.
It
was
a
small
film,
which
opened
in
a
lesser
number
of
screens,
but
it
was
still
a
hit.
Even
Akira
for
that
matter
was
a
great
opportunity
for
me
to
work
with
AR
Murugadoss
and
show
that
I
can
do
action,''
she
added.
Sona
also
revealed,
''What
didn't
work
was
the
film's
budget.
It
should
have
been
made
on
a
much
more
controlled
budget.
It
made
Rs
30-35
crore
in
India
alone,
which
is
a
great
number
for
a
singular
female
lead
project.
I
got
a
tremendous
appreciation
for
doing
an
action
film
like
that.
And
that's
what
matters.
Honestly,
my
last
few
films
have
got
me
much
more
appreciation
than
the
earlier
ones."
