We’ve always looked up to our actors and screen icons as our role models. And more often than not, what they do and say on and off screen does have a huge impact on us. When it comes to birthday girl Sonakshi Sinha, the impact has been in all the right areas. She’s redefined cool, smart and confident and has created a little more than just a niche for herself in the industry, right since her debut in 2010 with Dabangg. Be it her presence on social media or her bindaas attitude at events and dos, here’s why Sonakshi makes for the perfect role model for the young generation today.
Be Shame-less
Sonakshi used to be plump as a teen but she worked on herself to become an actress. But she’s not one to ditch her body type and push herself to the extreme to look a certain way. She’s comfortable in her skin and slams body shaming whenever she encounters it. She’s all for being healthy and we love that about her!
Bullies, beware!
Sonakshi takes on social media trolls like she beats up the bad guys in the movies. Intolerant of cyber bullies, she’s setting all the right examples when it comes to dealing with people who spew hate on social media. She stands up for herself and doesn’t take things lying down.
Simply stylish
She went from being just another actor to becoming a style icon in her own right. Experimenting with cuts, colours, silhouettes and styles, she steps out of her comfort zone ever so often, only to create a new one. And the best part? She looks as comfortable in a thigh-high slit gown as she does in a pair of jeans and a top. We like!
Work, work, work
She’s not in it for the fame or the money. Sonakshi’s an actor who loves to act and she’s not trade that for anything. Her focus on her career is admirable to a fault and she’s even said that she’d trade away the fame and money in an instant, but nothing tops the job satisfaction she gets as an actor. You go, girl!
Savvy chic
She’s busting stereotypes by the day, one of the biggest being that women aren’t tech smart. There’s no social media app she doesn’t use and use well. She knows every hashtag and even creates her own once in a while. Whether it’s an AMA or her regular #SundaySelfies, Sonakshi lets her geeky side shine and we love that. What’s more, she’s much in love with social media herself!
