Sonakshi Sinha on people, who body-shamed her: They were not the ones in a big-ticket Bollywood film, I was

From Dabangg to Dabangg 3, Sonakshi Sinha has really come a long way in Bollywood. The actress was over-weight for her debut role and she worked hard and lost 30 kgs. The Lootera actress recently featured on a leading magazine and talking about self-love issues, she revealed how despite losing weight, people used to body shame her and confessed that being 95 kg girl in school how boys and people used to call out her.

Talking to Cosmopolitan, Sonakshi Sinha said, "It was a huge achievement for me. And I was so proud of myself. But people were still talking about how much I weighed and how I looked! Eventually, I told myself that I wouldn't let them bring me down because they had no idea what I had been through, how hard I had worked to get here. And, in the end, it really didn't matter what they thought. They were not the ones in a big-ticket Bollywood film, I was!."

Talking about her professional front, Sonakshi Sinha will be making her acting debut in the digital space with a series which will stream on Amazon Prime. A crime thriller by Reema Kagti, the show also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Sohum Shah and Vijay Verma. The show will be produced by Excel movies and Tiger Baby films.

Sonakshi Sinha will also be seen in Ajay Devgn's Bhuj: The Pride of India, which is based on an incident from the 1972 Indo-Pak War, where three hundred local women helped rebuild a destroyed airstrip in Bhuj, Gujarat. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sharad Kelkar, Ammy Virk, South Indian actor Pranitha Subhash. The Singham actor plays IAF Vijay Karnik in the film, who, with the help of the local women, reconstructed the destroyed Indian Air Force airstrip at Bhuj in Gujarat. Vijay earlier expressed his happiness of Ajay Devgn playing him in the film and said, "We were fighting a war and if there had been any casualties of any of these women, it would have been a great loss to the war effort. But I took the decision and it worked out. I had briefed them where they could take shelter if attacked and they followed it bravely. Also, I could only and only see Ajay Devgn essaying my character and I'm glad he's onboard."It will release on Disney Hotstar.
