In an interview with ETimes, Sonakshi Sinha had a candid conversation recalling on how the year 2021 has been for her. Read below to know
She said, “When 2021 started, I thought it would only get better because how much worse could it get? Through the year, everybody’s life changed. People were thrown into unexpected situations, and they adapted to different things and moved on. There was no choice. Personally, I like to look at the positive side, like the family time I got to enjoy. I would barely get any time to spend with my parents. There was so much togetherness, and we got to know so many new things about each other. My mom was the happiest to have all three kids and her husband under one roof. My parents discovered that I enjoy spending time at home more than going out. I found out that my dad likes to travel so much that the lockdown was quite tough for him. That apart, I feel happy about the fact that this year we all got back to work. With the arrival of vaccines, as things moved towards normalcy, I shot for three projects. I completed my first web show, which was pending since 2020. We shot it in early 2021 in a bio-bubble. It was something new that I got to experience. Then, as life started coming back to normalcy, I shot for my first horror-comedy, Kakuda. Then I flew to London for my film Double XL. So yes, it was quite a busy year.”
Talking about her work front in 2021, she said, “it has been a year of many firsts for me. My first horror comedy is Kakuda. It is a genre that was most unlikely for me because I am petrified of horror tales. The comedy part of it made it easy for me to do the project. I have done various kinds of films, so whenever something new comes along I feel the need to grab it. What interested me about my first web show is that for the first time I was getting to play a cop. I have been a part of so many films where all my heroes have been cops, so this time I said, ‘Why should boys have all the fun?’ I jumped on the bandwagon to play a badass cop. I also shot for the film Double XL, and it is quite a special project. It deals with body image, weight issues and the challenges people face; hence it’s an important subject to be highlighted. I was easily convinced to play the part as it is something I have personally been through.”
