From the shy village girl in Dabangg to today’s frank, on-your-face actress, Sonakshi Sinha has come a long way and carved her own path in the Bollywood industry. Sonakshi has never stopped herself from speaking her mind, be it to an irksome critic or the big names of Bollywood. Known to be upright and overly honest, the actress has always seen to that people know her for what she is. The feisty star has always had gossip follow her wherever she went but has handled it all with poise and grace.
On her 28th birthday, here’s a look at 10 things about her that don’t always make it to the front page.
1. Sonakshi was lovingly called Shotgun Jr. after her father, by her family and friends.
2. Sonakshi Sinha was a model before she became an actress and also walked the ramp for Lakme Fashion Week in 2008 and 2009.

3. She reduced from an appalling 90 kg to 60 kg for Dabangg and it took her no less than 2 years to accomplish this almost backbreaking task.
4. Sonakshi is a complete foodie and binges on junk every now and then. (I hear cheers somewhere!)
5. Sonakshi got a star tattoo done recently near her collarbone. Hmm… that’s a safer one than a blaring RK, don’t you think?

6. Sonakshi always carries an extra set of dress with her as she is paranoid about a wardrobe malfunction. That is an appreciable safety valve, we must say!
7. Sonakshi is a member of PETA and advocates protection and sterilization of stray dogs and cats.

8. Sonakshi Sinha lent her voice for the dubbed Hindi version of Rio 2, a famous 2011 animation flick.
9. Sonakshi Sinha’s very first crush was none other than Bollywood ‘Greek God’ Hrithik Roshan!

10. Last but not the least, the Action Jackson gal has never ever ever been dumped!
Well that might be a hard pill for some of us to take. Anyways, Folomojo wishes Sonakshi Sinha a very happy birthday!
