Sonakshi Sinha credits weight loss and friends advice for her rise as a style icon

The 'Dabangg' babe Sonakshi Sinha has been criticised quite a bit when it came to style choices. While people praised her acting chops, it was her fashion sense that came under the scanner. However, since her debut in the blockbuster flick Dabangg, she has come a long way where fashion is concerned, and she reveals there were several factors that brought her where she is at, " The way I dress now is a result of a a lot of inputs from a lot of people . In the last two years, I have worked with some really good stylists." Also, the fact that the lass has lost a few kilos, has only worked towards adding more to her style quotient.

The real joy, according to Sonakshi came when she started getting compliments about her sylvette figure. About her style though, Sonakshi is modest and credits the people around her who helped groom her. "I have needed help in that department. Eventually, I started looking better and getting compliments. So, it's natural to want to do it yourself." It was her friend and stylist Sakshi Mehra. "Sakshi stepped in and really changed my style around. So I started thinking like her. She knows what I like, what I would want to wear, etc. She no longer lives in Mumbai but her assistant Chinar Desai has stayed on."

Well, its not often that we hear actresses spilling their style secrets so openly. Kudos to Sonakshi for that!
