Sonakshi takes mistakes with a pinch of salt, says it helps a person learn

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, who can be seen in the recently released film “Jatadhara,” has said that it’s good to make mistakes because that’s where true learning happens. The actress spoke with IANS during the promotional campaign of the show, and said that she isn’t afraid of making mistakes or failure. Sonakshi told IANS, “You learn by making mistakes. How else would you learn? Even as children, that’s how it is. When a child falls, they learn. So I feel that applies to every phase of life and every profession people are in. Mistakes are nice, they keep things exciting. The learning process, I feel, should never stop. The day you think, ‘You know, I know everything’, that’s your end, it’s over, go away, sit down”.

“So I feel the learning process should never end, and I feel we’re in a profession where every day is a learning experience, you learn something every day”, she added. Earlier, Sonakshi had shared her opinion on cross-pollination of artistes and technicians in pan-India films. The whole pan-India film movement started much earlier with films of Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan being broadcast on satellite. It gained prominence after the “Baahubali’ franchise.

When asked if pan-India films do add up to the pressure as a performer given they have to appeal to a new set of audience beyond their set audience, she replied in negative. How does it play out for her as an actor? She earlier told IANS, “The more the merrier, I guess. We work with such wonderful artistes, and get to learn so much from each and every one, everyone has their own story to tell, and for me, I think that’s the best part about working with people from different regions, different languages, different industries, cultures and communities”.

“Jatadhara” is a pan-India mythological–supernatural thriller directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal. The film also stars Sudheer Babu and Shilpa Shirodkar. It explores the shadowy intersections of Indian folklore, black magic, and greed, weaving a story around an ancient treasure guarded by demonic forces. Sonakshi Sinha portrays a mysterious pishachini (female spirit), while Sudheer Babu plays a man drawn into a dark world of rituals and redemption.

She further mentioned, “I feel that really contributes to you being a good actor, you just have to sit and observe people, listen to them, listen to their stories, you never know when you might get a role, maybe their story will come in handy at that time. So it’s very important to be a good listener and observer”.

“Jatadhara” is produced by Zee Studios’ Umesh KR Bansal, Prerna Arora, Aruna Agarwal, Shivin Narang, and co-produced by Akshay Kejriwal and Kussum Arora, with Creative Producers Divya Vijay and Sagar Ambre. The film is currently playing in cinemas in Hindi and Telugu.

Sonakshi while reflecting on her iconic film “Lootera,” shared that it was her 3rd or 4th film after the blockbuster debut of “Dabangg,” and people around her advised her against doing the film considering its limited commercial viability.
