Recently,
Sonakshi
Sinha
had
happily
reacted
to
the
reports
of
being
the
'only'
Bollywood
actress
who
has
crossed
Rs
1500
crore
mark
at
the
box
office
after
making
a
début
this
decade.
When
a
leading
daily,
got
in
touch
with
Sonakshi
and
asked
her
to
share
her
'mantra'
through
which
she
stayed
relevant
throughout
the
decade,
she
said
that
she
has
always
concentrated
on
her
work.
HT
quoted
Sonakshi
as
saying,
"Friendships
come
and
go
over
here.
Lobbying
is
something
I
don't
even
think
of.
I've
never
gone
to
a
producer
and
said
'please
give
me
work'.
I've
been
truly
fortunate
that
good
work
has
always
come
to
me."
"My
work
ethic,
the
kind
of
hard
work
I
put
in,
my
principles...
that's
what
I
think
will
take
one
forward.
I'm
happy
doing
that,
keeping
my
head
down
and
just
concentrating
on
my
job."
In
the
same
interview,
Sona
also
admitted
that
despite
making
a
strong
début
in
Bollywood,
she
has
been
criticised
by
the
critics
over
her
work
and
choice
of
films.
However,
rather
than
paying
attention
to
the
negative
remarks,
she
focused
on
improving
herself.
The
Kalank
actress
also
pointed
at
the
'double
standards' of
awards
functions
in
Bollywood
and
how
it
works.
She
said,
"Praise
does
come
your
way,
but
unless
you
are
friends
with
the
higher-ups
in
the
publications
or
at
the
awards,
you
won't
be
featured
in
the
nominations.
You
have
to
maintain
a
certain
friendship
with
them,
which
is
something
I
find
stupid."
"I
want
to
let
my
work
speak
for
itself.
And
honestly,
people
like
Aamir
(Khan)
and
Kangana
(Ranaut)
have
proved
that
you
don't
have
to
get
awards,
especially
to
be
called
a
great
actor," added
Sonakshi.
Sonakshi
was
last
seen
in
Mission
Mangal.
She
will
be
seen
next
in
Bhuj:
The
Pride
Of
India.
