Actor Sonakshi Sinha says she found the courage to do smaller films courtesy the visibility that came with the commercial blockbusters which helped her reach out to a bigger audience. Sonakshi made her big Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in ‘Dabangg’ and went on to star in potboilers such as ‘Rowdy Rathore’ and ‘R... Rajkumar’.

The 32-year-old actor simultaneously headlined movies like ‘Akira’, ‘Noor’ and this year's ‘Khanadaani Shafakhana’. "The big films that I've done and their success gave me the courage to do smaller films like that and take it all upon my shoulders. These big films have given me an audience that I wouldn't have got if I had started the other way around. I know that, which is why I am able to take those risks," Sonakshi told PTI.


The actor said even though the films weren't successful, she still gets a lot of love for them. "As long as I do my job well, irrespective of the result of the film at the box office, I am happy. Bad box office numbers don't make a bad film. 'Lootera' didn't do well at the box office but it is my most remembered film."


She will be next seen in ‘Dabangg 3’ and will begin 2020 with her forthcoming film ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’, featuring Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt.
