Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who has flaunted a desi, sari-clad
look in most of her Bollywood movies, tells she was fascinated by the six-yard
wrap even when she was a kid.
"I was very young when I started wearing my mom's
(Poonam Sinha) saris. I always saw her in saris and as a kid, I used to drape
her pallu. I've been doing it for a while now and now I do it for my
profession. I think the sari is the most graceful garment the Indians have come
up with," the 26-year-old told during a photo shoot for a sari brand.
Sonakshi's debut movie "Dabangg" saw her in simple
saris too, but she admits she doesn't really know how to drape it.
"I have been wearing a sari since my very first film,
but I've never actually done it myself. But I've done it so many times now that
I can now imagine the whole process and I believe I can (drape it), even though
I haven't tried it yet," she told.
But, the 26-year-old is glad that she is complimented for carrying
off the sari well.
"I carry off a sari very well. That' a good compliment
because the misconception is that mature and older women are supposed to wear
saris. But being from the younger generation, I believe receiving this
compliment is a high," she told.
Sonakshi played a village belle in the 2010 hit
"Dabangg" and was later seen as a desi girl again in "Rowdy
Rathore."
"Dabangg 2", "Son of Sardaar" and her
latest release "Lootera" also featured Sonakshi in an Indian look
complete with saris.
