Sonakshi Sinha (pronounced[soːnaːkʂisɪnɦa]; born 2 June 1987) is an Indian actress who works in Hindi films.[1] She is the daughter of actors and politicians Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha. She has appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list from 2012 to 2017 and in 2019. Sinha is the recipient of several accolades, including one Filmfare Award and two Zee Cine Awards.
After working as a costume designer in independent films, she made her acting debut with the action film Dabangg in 2010, which won her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.[2] Sinha rose to prominence by playing the leading lady in several male-dominated action films, including Rowdy Rathore (2012), Son of Sardaar (2012), Dabangg 2 (2012), and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014), in addition to appearing in a variety of item numbers. Sinha received critical acclaim for playing a troubled woman suffering from tuberculosis in the period drama Lootera (2013), for which she earned a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.[3][4][5]
This success was followed by a series of commercially unsuccessful films, with the exception of Mission Mangal (2019).[6] She has since gained praise for her starring roles in the thriller series Dahaad (2023) and the period drama series Heeramandi (2024).
Aside from acting, Sinha has ventured into singing, beginning with a song in her film Tevar (2015). Her debut single, "Aaj Mood Ishqholic Hai" was released in 2015.
