After dating for seven years, Sonakshi Sinha got married to long-time beau Zaheer Iqbal on July 23. They exchanged vows under the Special Marriage Act and later hosted a lavish reception for the film industry. In all their wedding photos, the duo look like they are made for each other. Along with her personal life, Sonakshi’s professional life is also going peach. She’s currently basking in the tremendous success of Heeramandi, where her portrayal of the deliciously devilish Fardeedan wounded the viewers with wonder. Despite embodying such a dark character on screen, Sonakshi is quite the opposite in real life, exuding positivity and warmth. This stark contrast made the role both challenging and rewarding, pushing her to expand her acting prowess under Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s expert guidance. Excerpts from a chat with the vivacious star.
Tell us your pre-and-postrelease state-of-mind for Heeramandi.
I think that this pre-release buzz was extremely huge. This was something that people were looking forward to. We were doing promotions and constantly talking about them. Some of the journalists had seen screeners, and we had not seen anything. So the excitement was super high. And post-release, the love that has been pouring in has been tremendous and overwhelming. So. It’s been a whirlwind of a journey this year. It’s always motivating to see that people have loved it the way that they have, and all our hard work is paying off. I’m ecstatic.
Did you empathise with the ruthlessness that Fareedan showcased in the name of avenging her mother?
