Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who made her big Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in “Dabangg”, says she is thankful to the star for his constant support and constructive criticism. “Whenever Salman criticizes me, he does it in a very positive way. Because of him only I lost so much of weight. I am an actress because of him and he is very happy about it.

Whatever he says, I take it in a very positive spirit,” Sonakshi told IANS. Sonakshi was over 80 kgs before she joined the industry, and worked hard to get into shape to get into filmdom.

Recently, a lot has been commented regarding her weight issues, but she says it doesn’t make a difference. “It doesn’t affect me. I think I read about it, I see it on TV, I sit and I just laugh, because tomorrow my film will become a hit and people will shut up,” Sonakshi said. So far, Sonakshi has donned a desi look in all her films – Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore, Joker and Son Of Sardaar. But she says in Bullet Raja, she sports a fusion look.
