"The worst advice a colleague has given me is that if your films are not doing well, stop doing films. Sitting at home, waiting for the right project, doesn't work. That's the worst advice I've ever gotten. I did not follow it. As you can very well see."

Often, certain films in an actor's life are special to them but don't perform well at the box office. Sonakshi revealed she was disheartened when her film, Lootera, didn't work.

However, the actress accepts that she is still appreciated for her role in Lootera. In her words:
"Every time I meet someone, the first film they tell me about is Lootera. And I tell them, 'Why didn't you go to the theatres at that point?' But I have to admit that it was disheartening when Lootera didn't work."
