"She is a huge splotch when it comes to making style statements."
"She is always dressed up as an aunty, in her dull and dreary sarees."
"She has a forehead that sees no end."
"She is too overweight to carry a sexy makeover."
"She has thunder thighs and flabby arms."
"She is a total eyesore on the dance floor."
"She is fat."
The jokes and the gibes have been interminable ever since Dabangg happened to Sonakshi Sinha. However, despite all those countless stones cast at her for her physical appearance (as well as acting credentials), the lady chose to remain unaffected. And rather, kept her focus on spiraling up her filmography. More often than not, such cutting comments have a propensity to lead showbiz aspirants to start unfriending food in a chase to befriend a size zero figure. A wholesome meal is swapped with a 'diet plan', consisting of few undersized portions of food. But Sonakshi was never in the mood to fight the battle of the bulge. She, rather, fixed upon following Vidya Balan's lead. Yes, she refused to lose faith. And her weight.
The gutsy Sinha girl gave a thumbs down to the so-called Bollywood success mantra. The mantra that propagates that only a beautiful face and a bold body can survive in this industry. By bold, they (fashion freaks) connote being skinny. But Sona did it all on her terms. She turned down offers that demanded her to drop her curves. Monished the photographers who deemed her weight as a real can of worms. Like a self-assured go-getter, Sonakshi was always clear about one thing – to never be apologetic about her shape, come what may. Much to the vexation of many party poopers, Sonakshi Sinha has cheerfully played a tough nut. With box-office blockbusters like Dabangg series, Rowdy Rathore, Son Of Sardaar – the girl has relished the status of a bankable star.
On the other hand, her last release, Lootera, has convinced even the harshest of critics to salute Sinha's fine emoting chops. So much so that the cine-loyalists easily brushed off the film's male lead's freshly toned physique in front of his leading lady's incredibly power-packed performance. And quite surprisingly, Sonakshi emerged as a complete revelation for all! Even in her signature sarees and simple, traditional looks.She was coming into her own, and the B-Town circles as well as the nation were left with no more desires to witness the stunner in slim-fit denims and mini skirts. She has successfully turned the tide. After Vidya, Sonakshi Sinha became the role model for many young girls who proudly celebrate their curves now. 'Fat' is no more synonymous with Sonakshi. And will never be.
