/> While Sonakshi Sinha seems stoic about her new reputation as someone who gets into serial scuffles with her female co-stars her parents Punam and Shatrughan Sinha are far from amused by these tales of their daughter's apparent animosity towards the fair sex.

Sonakshi, it seems, has been so troubled by her reputation of a spoilsport that she has decided to stay away from public functions.

Says a friend of the young in-demand actress, "Every time she steps out there's a story about Sonakshi having a problem with some actress or the other. Sonakshi is bothered because her parents are getting disturbed by these reports. She has decided to restrict her social activities as much as possible. "

It seems sad when a young girl must stop having fun to avoid attention. Though Sonakshi seems reluctant to talk about her rather curious reputation as a girl who gets into scuffles with her co-stars Sonakshi's mother Punam spoke out her anguish.

Said the concerned mother, "We don't know where these stories are coming from. But this is not our daughter. One day we read she has a problem with Katrina Kaif. What problem? Katrina had endorsed the product that Sonakshi has lately started endorsing?

But Katrina stopped endorsing that product ten years ago. So where is the question of any stress over that issue? When the stories began to grow my daughter even sent Katrina a message explaning there was absolutely no ill-will between them. Katrina never replied. "

The fact that Sonakshi's father is a controversial politician only adds to the conspiracy theory regarding his daughter. Those close to Sonakshi feel there's much more to these attempts to portray her as a pushy spoilport than meets the eye.

Punam Sinha exonerates all the three girls of any hand in the reputation. "Whether it's Katrina, Zarine or Anushka, they're good girls from cultured families. I feel it's people around them who are creating trouble.

We feel some people just can't bear the thought of our daughter becoming so popular with just one film. Why?There's so much space and place for everyone. Please let Sonakshi be. It's becoming very difficult for her to work in such a suffocating atmosphere. "

Sonakshi herself tried to laugh off her discernible discomfort at the embarrassing reputation of a belligerent girl that she was being saddled with. "Every morning I wake up wondering who is the new person I'm fighting with. It's better not to react and just focus on my work. "
