Sonakshi Sinha: I ragged my juniors, but we are still friends

Sonakshi Sinha has taken up the charge to change the ‘Sympathetic Women of Indian Society’ with her upcoming film ‘Akira’. She has donned the action avatar for this one, clearly sending a message to the audience that no woman is less than a man. Well, talking about the film, Sonakshi is on her toes promoting this film with many media interactions taking place on the go. So in one such interaction, Sona revealed that the film has touched upon the issue of ragging in college.

Not just that, she also revealed that she was a victim of ragging too, when she entered the SNDT college in Mumbai. But, this ragging was not to traumatise anyone, but was a way to make friends.

She said:

Ragging is touched upon greatly in the film (Akira). I feel that I did go through it in SNDT, which is an all-girls college, but it was a way of making friends with each other.

She further added:

Till today, people who ragged me or I ragged my juniors, we are still friends. I think it should be an enjoyable process to everyone and not something that traumatises a student or a child for life. That’s something which needs to be taken care of.

Well, never though ragging could be fun too!

Anyway, her film ‘Akira’ directed by AR Murugadoss is slated to release on September 2.
