Sonakshi Sinha on being cast in ‘Dabangg’: “It felt like an arranged marriage, but I knew I wanted this

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, in a recent podcast appearance, compared her entry into the film industry with Salman Khan’s ‘Dabangg’ to an ‘arranged marriage’. Initially pursuing fashion design, she didn’t take Salman and Arbaaz Khan’s offer seriously when they approached her after spotting her at a wedding. However, a script narration at her home, attended by her family, changed everything. The experience felt like a whirlwind, propelling her into the world of cinema. Sonakshi credits ‘Dabangg’ as a turning point, igniting a passion for acting that continues to this day.
