Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who has often been body-shamed, says
it is important for the audience to rise above looks and delve deeper into an
artiste's work.
Sonakshi is all for the fact that one's work speaks for
itself.
The actress, who walked the ramp at the launch of Streax
Professional's Spring Summer 2018 Collection ‘Marigold' in an orange
floor-sweepimg gown, on Tuesday told IANS: "We should tell the audience and
honestly that is something I have advocated since the starting of my career."
"I have always been projecting a very strong body image. Being true to
yourself... I have been bodyshamed quite a bit but moving ahead of that because
that is what I have always believed in...That it's not how you look but how you
do and about how many people you reach out to," she added.
While the
media here waited for a conversation with the actress, who had flown in from
Kuala Lumpur to be a part of the event, there was chatter about Sonakshi's
weight loss and "sculpted body".
Don't such comments and questions on
weight annoy her?
"I have been answering questions on my weight loss for
so long that I have become indifferent to them. There are certain things that
seem odd at the moment, but I am kind of used to it," said Sonakshi.
"And
it's okay, it's part of my profession. These are very basic things that people
are interested in, which is why they ask. They are I guess, the most obvious
questions," added the actress, who will next be seen in "Happy Phirr Bhaag
Jaayegi", "Kalank" and "Dabangg 3".
