Bollywood star sonakshi sinha recently reflected on her strict upbringing, revealing that even as a working professional, she had to abide by a strict curfew at home. Speaking candidly about her family’s rules, she shared how her mother ensured she stuck to the schedule and how her late-night outings were closely monitored.
Sonakshi Sinha had curfew till she was 32
Sonakshi told Hauterfly that she had curfew time till she was 32. “I had a curfew of 1:30 am after I started working. Till I was 32, it was the same. Zaheer had the biggest problem with it. Whenever I broke the curfew, it was because of him only, and then I used to get schooled for it,” she said.
The actress described how her home functioned almost like a fortress, with an efficient network ensuring her parents were always updated about her movements. “I used to live in a fortress called Ramayana. I lived on the 10th floor, and my mom and dad lived on the fifth floor. We had a very strict telephone operator, Mr. Jha. The minute my car would enter the premises, he would call to the fifth floor and inform me that ‘baby has arrived’.”
How Sonakshi worked around the system
Despite attempting to work around the system, she admitted that her mother always found a way to check on her. “A couple of times, I remember telling my man friday to ask the operator not to call my parents. When Mom would start questioning the next day about what time I returned, I would know that Jha didn’t call them, so I used to lie. It’s a story of every household,” she shared.
Sonakshi also spoke about how her mother often invoked her father’s name when reprimanding her for staying out late. “They would start calling from midnight asking where are you. They would scold me, saying it didn’t look nice. She would always say these things in the context of my father, saying what would he think or she would complain to him, etc. My father is the chillest person in the world. He has never scolded me.”
Beyond curfews and house rules, Sonakshi acknowledged the generational gap between her and her mother, explaining how both have learned from each other over time. “In terms of conditioning, my mom tried a lot to mold me as someone who doesn’t back-answer. They have also grown up in that environment, so it comes naturally. As a mother, she tried to pass it on. Now times have changed, generations have changed, and there are so many things that I teach her too.”
