Sonakshi Sinha: My regard for journalism has grown after 'Noor'

Mumbai, Mar 8: Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, who featured in the primary role in "Akira" and is now the central character in "Noor" -- both movies without a 'hero' -- says carrying a film solely on her shoulders isn't difficult, but rather liberating for her.

"I don't know whether it is difficult or easy, but I feel liberated when I promote the film. I felt this at the time when I was promoting 'Akira'. I don't have to depend on anybody to carry this film. I have a solid team to support and other than this, I don't need anybody else," Sonakshi said at the trailer launch of her upcoming film "Noor" on Tuesday.

"I feel like I am independent, strong and moving ahead with my team. This is the best feeling that I can carry a film on my own shoulders," she added. In "Noor", Sonakshi plays the role of a journalist who wants to cover a real life incident, but is forced to go for a celebrity's interview. Talking about the character, the 29-year-old actress said: "I have a lot of respect towards this profession. It is not an easy job to become a journalist. Hats off to all of you.

"For a journalist, it is his/her duty to ask any kind of question and as an actress, it is my prerogative to answer or avoid. Even fans ask weird questions. My regard for this profession has grown much more after doing 'Noor' and I will try to answer every question from now on," Sonakshi said with a smile. Sunhil Sippy has helmed "Noor", which is a Bollywood adaptation of a Pakistani novel. The film is releasing on April 21.

Popular Bhojpuri actor Amrita Pandey was found dead in her apartment in Bihar's Bhagalpur last week on April 27, the police said. The cops suspect the actor, 27, died by suicide but the matter is under investigation.

The police said she posted a cryptic WhatsApp status before her death, which read, "Do naav me savaar thi uski zindagi, humne apni naav duba ke uska safar aasaan kar diya" (His/her life was sailing on two boats, we made the journey easy by sinking one). The cops have not recovered any suicide note. She is survived by her husband.

Amrita's family said she worried about her career as she was not getting enough work and was suffering from depression. The family said she was undergoing treatment for depression.

The actor lived in Mumbai with her husband, Chandramani Jhangad, an animation engineer. She went to Bhagalpur to attend her sister's wedding on April 18. Her husband returned home after the wedding but Amrita chose to stay back.

The actor has been alongside Bhojpuri star Khesari Lal Yadav in 'Deewanapan'. She also acted in Hindi movies, TV shows and web series. She is also known for her role in the web series 'Parishodh'.

City Superintendent of Police, Shri Raj, said we will conduct a high-level investigation into this case. A team has been formed, the family members are being interrogated and further action is underway in the case.
