Shatrughan Sinha's son, Kush Sinha, spoke to ANI about his father's win. He said, "I am very happy that he is winning. Last time also he won by a huge margin... I want to thank the people of Asansol that they voted for the right candidate.''
Earlier, in an interview with ETimes, Sonakshi revealed what she learnt from her father. The actress said, ''Something which I've learnt from my father is that, if you do anything with confidence, you will get away with it. (Laughs)."
She continued, "It's just the matter of that. If you're not convinced, people will not be convinced with what you're doing. There have been a lot of characters I've played which didn't come naturally to me but you have to play them with conviction.'' Giving example of her character Fareedan in 'Heeramandi', Sonakshi said that she doesn't relate to her at all but she went in with a ''level of conviction'' and ''embodied'' her.
Sonakshi Sinha was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi' for which she received rave reviews.
