Vikramaditya Motwane's period romance Lootera made veteran actor
Shatrughan Sinha break down for a while after he watched his daughter
Sonakshi's performance in the film, which also features Ranveer Singh.
A proud father Shatrughan stated, "When Sonakshi did Son Of Sardaar
she looked every inch a Sardarni. In Lootera, she looks completely
Bengali. I don't want people to say, Apni beti ke baarey mein shuroo
ho gaye But the fact is I've faced the camera for 45 years, and I know
when
I see an extraordinary performance. I couldn't see my daughter
Sonakshi in Lootera. I only saw this ill suffering girl called Pakhi
on screen. And my heart melted." The affectionate father even called
up his daughter when he watched Sonakshi's character Pakhi dying of
tuberculosis in the film.
The actor was a little bit embarrassed while saying, "Ab kya Karen? Ek
baap toh baap hi hota hai. The way Sonakshi has portrayed the
bronchial cough is amazing. It was so realistic that I got scared. My
girl
has never been exposed to the harsh realities of life. Where did she
get to know about such pain suffering, hurt and humiliation?"
Shatrughan said more on the scene where Pakhi urged Ranveer's
character Varun to visit her for once, "Rejection is a terrible
humiliation. I never realized how much damage it can do to a girl's
self-esteem until I saw Sonakshi's performance in that sequence where
Pakhi begs with the man she loves to visit her the next day, or the
day after or the day after that...My heart reached out to the
character. When a girl faces such crippling rejection, she can do
anything. That scene made me realise how callous and careless men can
be, and how careful they need to be when dealing with a woman's
heart."
