New Delhi. Sonakshi Sinha praised Sanjay Leela Bhansali for ‘Hiramandi’. Regarding his role, he said that Bhansali has given him chilli. Along with this he also told why this series is very special for him.
Speaking with Hindustan Times, Sonakshi Sinha shared her experience about playing the role of ‘Faridan’ in Heeramandi. Sonakshi is doing this with Bhansali for the first time.
Recently, in an interview, Sonakshi remembered the things that director Bhansali had said to her. According to the actress, Bhansali had said, ‘You don’t know what kind of artiste you are. You had that ‘salt’, but you didn’t know what it meant! Now when Sonakshi was once again asked about this, she won everyone’s heart by giving an excellent answer.
Sonakshi laughingly said- I think Sanjay Sir has given me ‘Mirchi’ by giving me Faridaan! Faridan is complete ‘Mirchi’! Wherever she goes she adds chilli! But yes, I think now I know what he was really talking about. For me, over the last 7-8 years as an artiste, doing different roles, portraying very strong female characters on screen has been a constant endeavor.
Sonakshi further said- Take Akira when I took the first step on my own to move away from commercial, masala potboiler and shoulder films. She constantly tried to play great roles which were different from each other. Luckily with my first OTT release, I had Dhaad, and now Heeramandi, which have been 2 big shows. I feel really blessed to be a part of it and play these two beautiful characters. My efforts to play a strong female lead and give the audience a Sonakshi that they have never seen before will continue!
