Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha believes it is essential for celebrities to present their real self as people look up to them. Sonakshi says she does not believe in presenting a facade when she is out or interacting with people as being fake does not take anyone anywhere. "It is very important to stay real especially when you are in a position to influence people. It is very important to keep the realness alive. Being fake doesn't take you anywhere in life.
"The real me is a direct connect between me and fans, I like to be real when I am interacting with people on social media and otherwise or even when I am posting something, I like to do it myself, I like to be the real me," Sonakshi told PTI. The "Mission Mangal" actor is aware that social media has become a double-edged sword, where a celebrity can either be lauded or trolled for their comments. She says she has always been cautious while posting anything on social media.
