Sonakshi Sinha on why content creation is not her main career
With over 15 years in the film industry under her belt, Sonakshi sees content creation as simply another way to stay connected with her fans rather than a serious career pursuit. While her makeup tutorials and personal vlogs have earned her a dedicated online following, she is clear that it is not what defines her professionally. Talking about her digital presence, the actress said, “The digital space has really flourished in the last few years, and it’s also a great way for me to reach my audience directly, which is why I’m on it.

It will always be a by-product of what I’m doing.”
