Sonakshi
Sinha
Opens
Up
About
How
She
Bagged
Dabangg
Speaking
about
how
she
never
aspired
to
be
an
actor,
the
actress
told
the
tabloid,
"Life
before
my
debut
was
actually
going
in
a
different
direction.
I
was
studying
fashion
designing,
and
was
happy,
until
Salman
and
Arbaaz
(actor,
producer
of
Dabangg)
spotted
me,
and
felt
I
would
fit
the
role
of
Rajjo
perfectly.
They
were
coming
out
with
this
film
based
in
the
heartland,
and
wanted
an
Indian
looking
girl
and
launch
someone
new.
I
wasn't
asked
if
I
want
to
do
the
film,
I
was
told!"
Sonakshi
said
that
she
took
up
Dabangg
because
she
felt
she
should
take
it
as
the
universe
was
throwing
a
big
opportunity
at
her.
Sonakshi
Sinha
On
How
Dabangg
Changed
Her
Life
The
Lootera
actress
said
that
even
though
her
dad
Shatrughan
Sinha
was
an
actor,
she
never
visited
his
sets.
"I
barely
visited
my
dad's
film
sets
when
I
was
a
child,
so
I
was
never
inclined
towards
it.
When
I
started
going
myself,
I
was
drawn
to
it,"
Sonakshi
was
quoted
as
saying.
Further
talking
about
how
her
life
changed
post
Dabangg,
Sonakshi
said,
"After
Dabangg,
it
took
a
while
for
it
to
sink
that
it
has
released
and
become
such
a
big
hit.
People
suddenly
started
recognising
me
on
streets,
calling
out
my
name.
I
would
go
to
cricket
matches
and
people
would
say
‘you
are
the
Dabangg
girl'.
I
am
a
very
low-key
person,
so
even
though
I
have
seen
my
dad
see
it,
I
never
experienced
this
in
a
way
like
that."
Sonakshi
Sinha
Says
Her
Decade-Old
Career
Has
Been
A
Roller
Coaster
Ride
"I
read
this
somewhere,
that
if
your
graph
was
flat,
that
means
you
are
dead!
You
have
to
have
both
highs
and
lows
in
your
life,
that
applies
to
each
and
every
person
who
has
been
in
our
industry,
or
any
other
business,
It's
a
part
of
life,
and
not
anything
to
do
with
just
our
industry.
The
only
way
to
stay
sane
is
to
treat
success
and
failure
in
the
same
way,"
Sonakshi
was
quoted
as
saying.
Further,
saying
that
she
has
been
a
part
of
both,
crore
club
films
and
those
which
failed
to
work
at
the
box
office,
"Whenever
there's
been
a
100-crore
film,
you
don't
see
me
screaming
from
the
rooftops
‘my
film
was
super
duper
hit',
and
if
it
doesn't
do
well,
I
won't
go
into
a
shell
and
cry
about
it,
I'll
focus
on
what's
next.
I
treat
my
next
film
like
my
first
one.
It
keeps
me
going."
Sonakshi
Sinha
On
Completing
A
Decade
In
Bollywood
The
actress
told
Hindustan
Times,
"It
feels
like
they
just
flew
by.
It
feels
I
just
made
my
debut
yesterday.
I
have
enjoyed
the
work
I
did,
and
so
much
of
it
non-stop.
I
worked
with
such
amazing
people,
had
lovely
and
bad
experiences.
I
am
thankful
for
everything,
I
wouldn't
change
a
thing.
I
don't
even
want
to
sit
and
think
where
the
last
10
years
went,
I
look
forward
to
all
good
things
coming
my
way,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
I
work
harder
and
not
get
complacent."
