The "Dabangg" actress, who is also judging the TV show "Indian Idol Junior" took to Twitter and seemed ecstatic as she reached the set 20 minutes early when nobody was present.
"Breaking my own records! Was up to reach shoot at 7:30 and here I am 20 minutes earlier. Not another soul on set. Reached Thane in 30 minutes," Sonakshi tweeted on Tuesday.
