Sonakshi Sinha stepped into Bollywood with Salman Khan’s masala hit ‘Dabangg’. Over the years, she went on to star in many films like ‘Rowdy Rathore’, ‘Lootera’, ‘Holiday’, ‘Akira’ and ‘Kalank’. From action-packed entertainers to dramas and love stories, she went on to explore a variety of roles. Yet, for her father, the veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, there is still one performance that stands above the rest. Which one is it? Let’s find out.

Which is Shatrughan Sinha’s favourite role of Sonakshi?
The ‘Lootera’ actress went on to explain how his pride shines through whenever ‘Dabangg’ is mentioned. “He’s that typical dad who truly believes his daughter can do no wrong. But when it comes to Dabangg, there’s just something different in his eyes when he talks about it. That film will always be his favourite.”
Dabangg completed 15 years since release
‘Dabangg’ recently completed 15 years since its release, a milestone that not only reminds fans of the film’s impact but also highlights Sonakshi’s memorable entry into the world of cinema. For Sonakshi herself, the years since her debut feel like they have flown by. Reflecting on the film’s anniversary, she had earlier told Hindustan Times, “Until someone reminds me, I completely forget that it’s been 15 years. It feels like I made my debut just yesterday.”
