Low profile was not intentional, says Sonakshi

Post the success of “Dabangg”, Sonakshi Sinha maintained a low profile and stayed clear of media glare. She says it was not intentional as she was working non-stop during that period.

“It was not intentional. I don’t think anything that I do is intentional…It is simply a coincidence as some films got delayed as a result of whatever reasons,” Sonakshi told reporters here, adding that her second release “Rowdy Rathore” is coming before time.

“In fact, ‘Rowdy Rathore’ is releasing early…I haven't any complaints that I USED TO BE not seen on screen for one-and-half years as I USED TO BE busy shooting for all of the films that I signed, doing advertisements and shows. So I'VE BEEN working non-stop. Workwise it's been an excellent year-and-half for me,” she added.

“Rowdy Rathore”, directed by Prabhu Deva, will see Sonakshi romancing Akshay Kumar. It hits the screens June 1.

The 24-year-old has five major films in her kitty right now.

Sonakshi said: “I feel I'M blessed. I LIKE what I do and that i sit up for doing that each single day. If I'VE one-two day gap in between, I FEEL what to do? I BELIEVE I'M lucky – I'M doing ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2′, ‘Joker’, ‘Dabangg 2′, ‘Son Of Sardar’ and ‘Lootera’.”

Acting happened accidentally to her.

“I thought I WILL BE ABLE TO never do any movies. I DIDN'T know that I'D finally end up doing movies. I BELIEVE it's all because of destiny, I don’t think there may be the rest. I USED TO BE studying fashion and was almost at the verge of turning into a designer, but acting happened accidentally to me. But if a movie like ‘Dabangg’ is obtainable to you, you can’t say no,” she said.

The actress gives credit to her “Dabangg” co-star Salman Khan for encouraging her to become an actress.

“The credit absolutely goes to Salman. He always encouraged me. After I was studying fashion, at the moment he used to inform me leave all this and become an actress. I USED TO BE like very huge (overweight) that point and used to invite him how are you going to see an actress in me? He encouraged me to become fit and join the film industry. I WILL BE ABLE TO always be thankful to him,” she said. – IANS
