Sonakshi sashays for Monisha Jaising

From a simpleton to action-oriented roles Sonakshi Sinha who has explored a variety of roles in Bollywood, says it's a great time to be a girl in the industry. The 29-year-old, who has been a part of films like ‘Lootera’ and ‘Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty’, walked as the showstopper for designer Monisha Jaising's exquisite collection for Lakme Fashion Week Summer/ Resort 2017, atop international luxury cruise liner Costa neoClassica.

Looking radiant in a playful short tangerine dress with a long trail, Sonakshi said she loved the "princess theme". "I actually never wear stuff like that, so when I got the opportunity to wear such a long trail, I really liked it." However, Sona says she is not really a fashion conscious person. "I have got a very individualistic style, which is grungy, edgy and sporty... Because that's how I have always dressed from my childhood. I have grown up wearing boys' clothes and I feel now that has become a fashionable statement. So, I think little bit of that is still in me," said the actress, who has two brothers.

Jaising's collection saw an array of patterns, fully embellished party dresses and cocktail saris in black, gold, grey, white, rose pink, rose tan with a pop of red, orange and fuchsia. The range was infused with opulent fabrics like satin, wool crepe, Italian organza, chikankari and more.
