2nd June 2023,Mumbai: Today marks the 36th birthday of actress Sonakshi Sinha, and social media is buzzing with warm messages from her supporters, friends, and family. However, her birthday isn’t the only reason for celebration. Sonakshi’s recent appearance in Reema Kagti’s series Dahaad has garnered significant attention and turned into a social media sensation. Portraying a fierce and determined cop, Sonakshi’s powerful performance has deeply impressed the audience.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sonakshi expressed her “overwhelmedness” by the overwhelming response to her role in Dahaad. The series also featured talented actors like Sohum Shah, Gulshan Devaiah, and Vijay Varma. Sonakshi shared that she has been receiving messages from people she hasn’t spoken to in a long time, and even individuals in the industry whom she doesn’t know personally have reached out to her. She recalled random encounters in restaurants where people approached her just to express their admiration for her work in Dahaad, without asking for a photo. This newfound recognition has left her uncertain about how to handle it all.“I feel like I’ve made my debut again,” Sonakshi expressed. Referring to her acting debut alongside Salman Khan in Dabangg back in 2010, she highlighted that the level of praise she is currently receiving hasn’t been seen since her acclaimed performances in Lootera (2013) and Akira. She also mentioned her film Kalank, but emphasized that the response to Dahaad surpasses even that.
In a recent interview, director Reema Kagti claimed that Sonakshi has always felt “underutilized.” When asked about her thoughts on this statement, Sonakshi responded, “Sometimes, not always. I am glad that individuals like Reema and Zoya Akhtar have recognized that I always strive to give my best and showcase my abilities in any role I am given, be it substantial or not. It’s heartening to have been entrusted with a character that truly allows me to showcase my skills. I hope more people join in this endeavor.”
Looking ahead, Sonakshi is set to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heera Mandi, alongside Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Sanjeeda Sheikh. Additionally, she has films with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, namely Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, in the pipeline.Sonakshi Sinha’s birthday celebration coincides with her well-deserved recognition for her exceptional performance in Dahaad, opening up new avenues of opportunities in her career.
