Sonakshi Sinha asserts that she is unable to return to the role of “maal” on screen: Even then, certain things didn’t feel quite right.

Sonakshi Sinha is experiencing unprecedented fame for her performances on OTT. Her subtle and varied turns in Dahaad last year and Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar this year have wowed her reviewers. Sonakshi said in a Zoom interview that she had worked on some troublesome “big films” when she was younger and that she would never return to those projects where she was referred to as “maal.”

What Sonakshi mentioned

“I haven’t simply stated it for the sake of saying it; you can very clearly see the shift in the sort of parts that I have been portraying from Akira. I’m being faithful to what I said. I doubt I will ever be able to return to being called maal. Everyone needs to take this step, she stated. Sonakshi views the 2016 action movie Akira by AR Murugadoss as the pivotal moment in her professional life. In the movie, she plays a vigilante who defends women from abuse and acid assaults.

Being an artist comes with responsibilities. You’re an inspiration to a lot of people. I firmly believe that, despite my youth, I had the chance to participate in a number of highly significant motion pictures. At that moment, no one in their right mind could have said no. I completed them, but even then, certain things seemed strange. As you develop, people become aware of it, discuss it, and draw it to your awareness. Though critical, it’s beneficial, Sonakshi continued.

Sonakshi’s professional life

Sonakshi had a highly publicised debut alongside Salman Khan in the popular 2010 police comedy Dabangg. Following that, she acted in popular films such Murgadoss’s Rowdy Rathore (2012), Son of Sardaar (2012), Dabangg 2 (2012), and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014).

Following Akira, Sonakshi acted in the following films: Force 2 (2016), Noor (2017), Ittefaq (2017), Welcome to New York (2018), Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi (2017), Kalank (2019), Khandaani Shafakhana (2019), Mission Mangal (2019), Dabangg 3 (2019), Bhuj: The Pride of India (2021), Double XL (2022), and, this year, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

Her next films include Nikita Roy and the Book of Darkness and Kakuda. Sonakshi Sinha, known for her versatile performances in Bollywood, recently opened up about her refusal to return to a particular on-screen role that she had portrayed in the past. In a candid conversation, the actress mentioned how with her in retrospect. She expressed that while such roles were a part of her early career, she no longer feels comfortable revisiting them, as they didn’t align with her current values and growth as an actress.

Sonakshi reflected on how she used to take on roles that, at times, weren’t empowering, but emphasized that with time, she has evolved both personally and professionally. She shared that she no longer wishes to portray characters that don’t offer substantial depth or contribute meaningfully to the storyline. The actress is now focused on roles that are more nuanced and representative of the progress she’s made as an individual.

Her remarks highlight the changing landscape of the film industry, where actors are increasingly moving away from stereotypical, one-dimensional roles to take on more complex, empowering characters. Sonakshi’s refusal to reprise the “maal” character is a testament to her growth and commitment to doing work that resonates with her.

As fans eagerly await her future projects, Sonakshi’s bold stand is likely to inspire other actors in the industry to embrace more meaningful roles.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”

Raj Babbar and Smita Patil’s marriage

Smita Patil and Raj Babbar met on the sets of their 1982 film Bheegi Palkein. Raj left Nadira to marry Smita the following year. Their son, actor Prateik Babbar, was born in November 1986. However, Smita Patil died soon after from childbirth complications at the age of 31. Raj Babbar got back together with Nadira a few years later.

Juhi Babbar made her film debut with Kash Aap Hamare Hote opposite Sonu Nigam in 2003. She worked in a handful of films over the next few years before taking a hiatus to do TV. In 2023, she returned to films with supporting roles in films like Faraaz and Farrey. She is married to actor Anup Soni.
