Actress Sonakshi Sinha's family hails from Bihar, but she says at heart she's a Punjabi!
"Not Punjabi by birth, but definitely Punjabi at heart (and eating habits)," Sonakshi tweeted as a plug for the new song "Punjabi mast" from her forthcoming film "Action Jackson".
The film, directed by Prabhudheva, also stars Ajay Devgn.
"Punjabi mast" is the second track to be released from the movie. It's a fun party track in which Ajay will be seen dancing.
The setting of the song is a Punjabi dhaba where Ajay and Kunal Roy Kapur are seen having fun and gulping glasses of 'lassi', while Sonakshi is seen dancing to the tunes.
The track has been sung by Ankit Tiwari along with Himesh Reshammiya, Vineet Singh, Arya Acharya, Alam Gir Khan and Neeti Mohan.

Never said no to working with Salman: Deepika
She's worked with Shah Rukh Khan thrice, but Deepika Padukone is yet to share the same frame with Salman Khan. She says she's never said no to a project starring the "Dabangg" star, and that destiny will decide when they'll work together.
Rumour mills were abuzz that Deepika had refused to work in Salman-starrer "Kick", which was offered to her.
Rubbishing this, she said: "Who am I to refuse anyone? I don't have the power or the position to do so. I have never said I don't want to work with Salman Khan. In fact, I want to work with him. But I think each film is as per destiny.
"If it is meant to happen, it will happen no matter how hard you work on your dates. It will happen only if it has to."

Kareena doubts she'll ever cut her tresses for role
Will she, won't she? Kareena Kapoor has her doubts if she'll ever agree to go for a short haircut for a movie role as she loves her locks too much. In fact, she wants to grow them longer now.
"I don't know if I would chop my hair for any role, no matter how fascinating it will be. I love my hair...and by cutting them, I will lose my hair brand endorsement," Kareena told IANS.
She said she's growing her hair.
"In my career graph, I had mid-length hair, but now I want to have long tresses," said the actress.
