Sonakshi Sinha loves her nose ring

Sonakshi Sinha loves her nose ring

Actress Sonakshi Sinha is one of the few actresses who wears a nose accessory even on screen. She says it is convenient to wear and gives her the 'desi' look.

Sonakshi Sinha had her nose pierced when she was 16.

"I have worn a nose ornament right from my first film ('Dabangg') and I keep altering from a nose ring to a stud," Sonakshi, who is known for sporting various Indian avatars in her films, said in a statement.

The 26-year-old will flaunt a nose ring once again in her forthcoming film 'Lootera'. The actress will wear a traditional nose ring, which also enhances her character in the movie.

"I have used a very traditional Bengali-looking nose stud in the shape of a flower. It's a hassle-free accessory and is also the mark of an Indian woman," she tweeted.

Sonakshi Sinha's Bangla tutorials

Sonakshi Sinha is playing Bengali characters in two of her forthcoming films.

While she wasn't required to speak the language in her period romance with Ranveer Singh, she was asked by another director to recite some lines in Bangla for her film with Saif Ali Khan.

Naturally, she asked some Bengali crew members to help her learn the language.

Sonakshi Comfortable with Indian Look

Sonakshi Sinha shot to fame with her rustic village belle look in 'Dabangg', and the actress is still in love with her desi avatar. She says she wouldn't mind playing a simpleton again.

'Why not? You know, I am an Indian, I am a Hindi film heroine, and I am getting roles. There is no dearth of work and all the roles coming my way have been Indian. I am definitely open to doing western roles but if people see me fit enough to play that Indian heroine, I am absolutely okay with that,' Sonakshi said during the launch of her film 'Lootera'.

Sonakshi, who plays the role of a traditional Bengali woman in 'Lootera', has a lot of meaty projects in hand like 'Rowdy Rathore' and 'Joker'. However, she is upset about losing out on 'Race 2', which she had to forgo for 'Dabangg 2'.

'It was unfortunate because I was looking forward to it and I had signed on the film because I had felt it would be great to be a part of that film. But the dates were shifted forward and I couldn't accommodate the film as 'Dabangg 2' is starting in March,' she said.

'Lootera' is a love story set in the 1950s and stars Ranveer Singh opposite Sonakshi and is written and directed by Vikramaditya Motwane of 'Udaan' fame.

Kamal-Sonkashi's Vishwaroopam from June

Kamal Hassan-Sonkashi Sinha's upcoming Tamil movie Vishwaroobham will reportedly take-off in June. The movie, which was supposed to hit the floors in April, will start its first schedule in Canada.

Earlier, the Canadian consulate had rejected visas for the cast and crew of Vishwaroobham, which delayed the movie. Later, the team applied fresh applications for which it has got approval from the consulate and has been granted permission to shoot in Canada for 100 days.

Meanwhile, director Selvaraghavan is busy with his long pending project Erandam Ulagam. The movie features Dhanush and Andrea Jeremiah in the leads. It will hit the screens in June.

Vishwaroobham also features Shreya Saran in the key role. The music of the film will be scored by Shankar Ehsaan Loy.

Sonakshi and Ranveer dying to work together

Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha, who made impressive debuts last year with Band Baaja Baaraat and Dabangg, respectively, are eager to work with each other.

Sonakshi bagged multiple awards this year for her role opposite Salman Khan in the blockbuster movie Dabangg, while Ranveer impressed as a Delhi-boy in romantic comedy Band Baaja Baaraat.

'I would love to work with Sonakshi. She is a brilliant performer and I hope we work together soon. Although nothing is fixed as of now,'  said Ranveer.

Sonakshi has big projects in her kitty -- she has Joker with Akshay Kumar, Race 2 and a film with Kamaal Hassan, but she too wants to work Ranveer.

'We do want to work together. We talked about it, but he is very busy with his project at the moment and my line up of films are also sorted. So we don't have the opportunity now. It will take at least another year before we can work together,' said the actress.

At the moment, Ranveer is busy with Yash Raj Films production Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl, being directed by Maneesh Sharma.
