Wanna know Sonakshi Sinha's secret?

Though Sonakshi has already been lauded as 'star material', she's still holding on to the dream that she first nurtured as a child —of being a stylist.

"I have studied fashion designing and styling (from SNDT College) for three years. I don't know how I'll be able to fulfill that dream if I'm pursuing acting," she wonders aloud. Clearly, fashion designing is her first love.

Not many are aware that long back Sonakshi had designed the costumes for a Bollywood dud called Mera Dil Leke Dekho (2005). And the actor hopes to continue doing that discreetly.

"I want to design and style my own clothes. I don't know how many Bollywood actors do it, but here I am. I have done my own styling for a few shoots during the promotions, and I think they look good," she smiles.

Sonakshi says she has also tried her hand at styling Salman for one of the songs of her forthcoming film. "Salman approved the look that I created for him. So, I think that I will continue styling along wtih acting," she adds.

Another thing that Sonakshi rues about the acting profession is a strict dietary regime. Life is a lot tougher now, she says, when she's told to take small bites from her favourite brownie, but in the end it's worth it all. "I took a lot of pains to knock off those 30 kilos. Life is tough, but life is also healthy," she smiles widely.
