Sonakshi Sinha Item numbers are not my cup of tea | I’m not here to replace anyone: Sonakshi Sinha | Sonakshi’s fight for fitness

She’s just one film old in the tinsel town, but her acting prowess in ‘Dabangg’ has set my eyeballs rolling.
Unfortunately, Sonakshi Sinha, who loves dancing, has no item songs to her credit till now, despite the three forthcoming projects, ‘Race 2, ‘Kick’, and Prabhu Deva’s untitled next, in her kitty. Presently, the actress is in Chandigarh shooting for Shirish’s 3D flick ‘Joker’.

In a recent conversation with DNA, the 23-year-old newbie, who alleges to be scared of item numbers, said, “I love dancing, but I’m not bold enough for an item number. It’s just not my cup of tea.”

Of late, there were reports that the newbie and Kat will be casted together in an item track from the adventure film ‘Joker’, choreographed by Farah Khan.

B-Towns’s abuzz with khabar of newbie Sonakshi Sinha being pitched with other actresses — Katrina Kaif in particular, not only on home ground by being mentored by Salman Khan, but also with brands, replacing her in a film’s sequel and even as Akshay Kumar’s heroine in the star’s next two films.

In fact, the Akshay-Sonakshi jodi is now being pitched as the new Akki-Kat pairing.

New Sonakshi may be, but thanks to her Bollywood lineage, she’s not unaware of the ways of Bollywood and the one thing that she refuses to be drawn into, are controversies. “I’m here to work and I’d rather be written about that alone,” she says.

Choosing not to be ruffled by comparisons, “Comparisons are inevitable and I take them as a compliment,” says the star daughter while dismissing goss of her wanting to step into Katrina’s shoes.

It seems the not-so-pleasant compliments about her body in her debut continue to rankle Sonakshi Sinha, remarks my dhobi Safedi Lal as he strolls in. That’s why she’s taken to exercising with a vengeance and is working hard to keep herself in perfect shape, I’m told. The abhinetri , who’s currently shooting with Akshay Kumar for Shirish Kunder’s Joker, is making sure that nothing gets in between her and her work. So every subah, subah after she’s had her cuppa green tea, the Sinha kudi struts to the hotel gym for a kasratbaazi session.
