Sonakshi Sinha, a (Dub)Smash Hit at 29
Here's a pictorial journey through Sonakshi's life as she turns a year older

It's been a while since we saw Dabangg girl Sonakshi Sinha on the silver screen, but the actress is entertaining fans nevertheless by making good use of the new smart phone app 'Dubsmash' and sharing a series of goofy videos in which she lip syncs dialogues from old films on social media.
Bollywood welcomed her with open arms and she began her film career with films opposite Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar, two of Bollywood's biggest names. Being Shatrughan Sinha's daughter may have opened some doors but Sonakshi's success rate proves she's a star in her own right.
Here's a pictorial journey through her life as she turns a year older. -
Four of Sonakshi's films released in 2013. Vikramaditya Motwane's Lootera, a period romance in which she featured with Ranveer Singh, did average business at the box office but earned her rave reviews from the audience and critics alike. Milan Luthria's Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!, the sequel to the 2010 hit film Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, which also featured Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan and Sonali Bendre, turned out to be a damp squib at the box office.

2014 saw Sonakshi act opposite Akshay Kumar in the AR Murugadoss-directed Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty. The film did brisk business at the box office and was among the Rs 100-crore films of the year. Action Jackson opposite Ajay Devgn, which released the same year, did not do as well. Lingaa, opposite Rajinikanth, which released at the end of the year, met with an even worse fate and ran into losses.

Sonakshi is currently busy shooting for AR Murugadoss's Akira, the Hindi remake of the Tamil hit Mounaguru. She will also soon be seen as a judge on the TV show Indian Idol Junior 2.
> Here's wishing the versatile Sonakshi a very happy birthday and a fantastic year ahead.
