The camera cuts across to focus on her, as she steps\u00a0in, laced with large sunglasses. Mouthing some casual Punjabi words in the guise of a rap song, she begins gyrating\u00a0to the tunes of the song\u00a0(a tune that seems to have ‘pop’ped out of strange noises stringed together).<\/p>\n
@sonakshisinha<\/span><\/a>, the Bollywood actress who features in many such songs, recently defended herself about being multi talented.\u00a0This was with respect to the rumor that had been flying around thick and fast, about her opening\u00a0Justin\u00a0Bieber’s India act, despite being an actress.\u00a0In response, the comedian\u00a0@hankypanty<\/a>\u00a0cheekily\u00a0opined<\/a>\u00a0about one having\u00a0to be talented in at least one thing, before\u00a0claiming to be a multifaceted personality.\u00a0<\/span>I tend to disagree with him on\u00a0Sonakshi being delusional about her\u00a0talents. In my humble opinion, she\u00a0actually\u00a0belongs to the top of the food chain in one aspect.<\/p>\n Humans grow up with a\u00a0set of biases, and acquire some of them over a period of time. Having\u00a0moved across multiple cultures \/ cities \/ countries; there is one bias that I have been able to recognize from modern Punjabi songs. <\/span>There is an unwitting portrayal of\u00a0the protagonist (in this case, a female) with the following – <\/span><\/p>\n This bias seems to have been repeatedly force fed through\u00a0such videos. Although being a Punjabi myself, it has been a compelling yet complex case for me to fathom; about why familiar strokes\u00a0are repeatedly painted, under the pretext of using different\u00a0brushes!<\/span><\/p>\n Had it been some other celebrity actress, I would have gone so far as to think that she is diluting the value of her personal\u00a0brand\u00a0by\u00a0frequently doing such videos instead of more films respectively. But in Sonakshi’s case, she actually fits the bill perfectly, when it comes to donning this character, within the mentioned context, and showcasing her acting skills\u00a0in this one area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The camera cuts across to focus on her, as she steps\u00a0in, laced with large sunglasses.
