Sonakshi, who made her debut with Salman Khan-starrer "Dabangg," became known for her roles in big-budget commercial films in the beginning of her career but she has no regrets.
"I have grown with every film. I learn something from every person I work with. I really believe in learning from experience. I have had a really eventful and fruitful journey since I started. I don't have any regrets in my career," she told PTI in an interview.
me. I was happy to be a part these films. These films gave me a
chance to work with the best people in the industry."
After starring in commercial entertainers like "Rowdy Rathore" and "Action Jackson", Sonakshi surprised with her performance in "Lootera", which won her critical acclaim.
The actress, 29, says she is now in a zone where she just wants to do roles that push her limits.
Sonakshi ventured into action films with her last release "Akira" and now she is a part of "Force 2".
The actress says the shift was not intentional and she chose the films because they offered her a chance to play strong independent women.
Sonakshi, who will be seen doing some great stunts in "Force 2," feels the current phase in the film industry is best for the people who are willing to experiment.
Sonakshi's performance in "Akira" was appreciated but the film did average business at the box office. The actress says "Akira" helped filmmakers realise that she had the potential to carry a project on her shoulders.
"Collection doesn't bother me as I feel I achieved a lot more from 'Akira'. I got to work with a great director, played a great role. I took a risk that paid off. Producers now know that this girl can shoulder a film. It has been very positive."
