EXCLUSIVE: “Don’t Give Me Award When I Did Nothing!” – Says Sonakshi Sinha, Chooses JOMO Over FOMO!
“I don’t have FOMO. I have JOMO, the Joy of Missing Out. I’m very happy like that,” she said with a smile.

She even shared a funny moment about how some award shows kept calling her even when she hadn’t done any major work.
“It’s funny, some award shows would keep calling me repeatedly, and I had to be like – ‘Why are you calling me? I didn’t even do anything last year. Don’t give me an award. When I do some good work, then give me one.'”

Let that sink in. In an industry where many run after validation, here’s Sonakshi being real, grounded, and unapologetically honest. She also talked about how she’s very selective about the events she attends.
“I don’t want to step out unnecessarily. There are so many things happening every day. I don’t want to attend everything. I will go where I feel I should go. I will go if I’m close to a person. I’m not interested otherwise.”
It’s clear that Sonakshi values her time and energy. She’s not going to show up just to tick a box or make an appearance. If she shows up somewhere, it’s because it matters to her.
