Sonakshi comfortable with Indian look

Nov 17, 2011 IANS

Sonakshi Sinha shot to fame with her rustic village belle look in "Dabangg", and the actress is still in love with her desi avatar. She says she wouldn't mind playing a simpleton again.

"Why not? You know, I am an Indian, I am a Hindi film heroine, and I am getting roles. There is no dearth of work and all the roles coming my way have been Indian. I am definitely open to doing western roles but if people see me fit enough to play that Indian heroine, I am absolutely okay with that," Sonakshi said during the launch of her film "Lootera".

Sonakshi, who plays the role of a traditional Bengali woman in "Lootera", has a lot of meaty projects in hand like "Rowdy Rathore" and "Joker". However, she is upset about losing out on "Race 2", which she had to forgo for "Dabangg 2".

"It was unfortunate because I was looking forward to it and I had signed on the film because I had felt it would be great to be a part of that film. But the dates were shifted forward and I couldn't accommodate the film as 'Dabangg 2' is starting in March," she said.

"Lootera" is a love story set in the 1950s and stars Ranveer Singh opposite Sonakshi and is written and directed by Vikramaditya Motwane of "Udaan" fame. Click the Movie button below for more info:
