After years, if someone emerged as a star overnight in truest sense, it’s Sonakshi: Shatrughan

New Delhi, Jan 12 (FN Bureau) Sony Entertainment Television’s popular singing reality show, ‘Indian Idol 14’, will be ‘Celebrating Shotgun Shatrughan’ in the presence of the legendary actor himself on Saturday. Shatrughan Sinha will make a grand entry on the show, and enjoy the melodious performances put forth by the contestants. Not only this, but the contestants will also humorously disclose secrets about each other as part of a special ‘Khaamosh Khabrein’ segment, adding a fresh and entertaining element to this ‘Must Watch’ weekend episode. But it was ‘Maharashtra Chi Shaan’, Utkarsh Wankhede, who will be winning hearts with his beautiful rendition of the songs, ‘Chori Kiya Re Jiya’ from ‘Dabangg’, and ‘Dagabaaz Re’ from ‘Dabangg 2’, which also stars Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter, Sonakshi Sinha! And one of the highlights of the episode will be when Judge Shreya Ghoshal joins Utkarsh on stage mid-performance and sings along with him. Complimenting Utkarsh’s performance, Shatrughan said, “Very good, Utkarsh!

In the beginning, I had spoken about effortlessness, voice modulation, commitment, confidence, and variations, and I saw all of it in you and your performance.” Not only this, Shatrughan also confesses how proud he was of his daughter Sonakshi Sinha who starred in the film. He said, “Emotionally, it’s very natural that I am attached to this film because not only was my daughter the heroine in both films, but after years, if someone emerged as a star overnight, in the truest sense, it’s Sonakshi from Dabangg 1. And for this, I am very grateful to Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Salim Khan, and the entire family because they came and asked for her to star in the film.” He further added, “Initially, she didn’t want to venture into films; she had completed a fashion designing course. But when the Khans came to our residence and said that they wanted to cast Sonakshi for the role, assuring us that it would be a good role, Sonakshi agreed to it too. And she became an overnight star, there’s no doubt about that.”
