Frustrating Slot

Date :29-Aug-2019

Actress Sonal Chauhan likes to take up different kinds of roles because she doesn’t like to get slotted in a bracket. She finds that frustrating. “I yearn for a good script where I get to do different kinds of roles. I don’t like to get slotted in a certain bracket. That is one thing which gets frustrating for me, that I don’t like. “I yearn to do different kind of roles and hope I get to do more contrasting roles from what I have already done because that is the real test for an actor, so I think that is what an actor lives for,” Sonal told IANS. After her Bollywood debut with Jannat in 2008, the former beauty queen took up Telugu, Kannada and Tamil films apart form Hindi.

Clearly, language of the film doesn’t matter much to her. “For me, as an actor what’s more important is the character I am playing. If my character is interesting and excites me then I really enjoy myself. For most actors, that’s the case. Language doesn’t really make much of a difference. We, as actors, are a director’s medium who tell his story. If an actor and a director manage to get on the same page then it’s just amazing and a lot of fun,” said the Paltan actress.

Her next film is also in Telugu. “This is my third film with Bala Krishna Sir (actor Nandamuri Balakrishna). What makes me want to work with him again and again is that he is one of the finest human beings I have ever come across in my life.”
