It’s a challenge to play a village belle, says Sonakshi Sinha

She is just two films old, but looks like  the actor already knows the trick to make the right choice when it comes to her roles. The young actor, who is not seen much on the social circuit has hit bulls’ eye with both of her films. Guess that is the perk of being a star kid.  No wonder then, the pretty actor has her kitty full at the moment. And to think she never planned to be an actor in the first place, but a fashion designer.

”Since I was an obese kid and teenager,  I used to just concentrate on designing. Acting happened because of Salman (actor Salman Khan) as he felt that I had in my genes what it needs to be an actor. He told me, all I should do is work on losing those extra kilos and get ready for Rajjo’s (Dabangg) role. And here I am. But once I establish myself as an actor, I would love to use my fashion know-how to the best of my capabilities,” she adds.

So doesn’t she feel that she is getting typecast playing the role of a village belle, which she essayed in her debut film Dabangg and now in her latest hit Rowdy Rathore? Explains Sonakshi, “No, in fact being an urban girl, it is a challenge to portray  a village belle. And I have just done two films; I have a long way to go. So, I have no such fears of being typecast. My only worry is that I should not let my parents and audiences, who have loved me so much in so little time, down. I wish to do versatile roles and let the actor in me grow with every film I do.”
