Actress Sonia Sharma Shines As Adhura Khuaab Movie Gets International Recognition!
Transitions have never been easy. They aren’t meant to be. It’s not impossible either.
From being news channel anchor to acting in tv serials (Vignaharta Ganesha, Veer Shivaji in a lead, Kabhi Kabhi Ittefaq Sey, latest being Tenalirama) to doing music video albums to acting in movies (recent being in a lead role), the vivacious and supremely talented Sonia Sharma seems to have traversed a full circle!
Now comes the heartwarming news of her newest movie, Adhura Khuaab (where she’s the lead heroine and protagonist with Ali Merchant, former tv star) produced by Faizuddin Siddique (brother of Bollywood’s master actor Nawazuddin Siddique) and Sabba Siddique and directed by former supermodel and actor Shadab Khan, hitting international movie headlines. Not only has the masterpiece movie been nominated and honoured in various prestigious international film festivals in various categories, the biggest news that has catapulted Sonia to the proverbial cloud nine is that she has been nominated not once but two times as Best Actress (from India) by two separate reputed film festivals in Canada namely ALTFF Film Festival, and Couch Film Festival,Toronto along with high caliber actresses like Monica Keena – How To Survive Hollywood (Netherlands) and
Marie France Louis – Howl Of The Blue Moon (USA).
“It has been an amazing journey! Well, I have been in acting field for quite some time. But there was always one role I was craving, until Adhura Khuaab (Incomplete Dream) happened to me,” says an excited Sonia whose recent movie Riwaj with actor Aftab Shivdasani released on Zee5 had received mixed reviews. Sonia also had played a cameo role in Akshay Kumar starrer hit movie OMG.
Sonia adds, “When Faiz sir narrated the script to me, I was instantly drawn to it. I knew I could not miss the chance to play Rubi — a small-town Muslim girl deeply in love with her husband but unable to conceive, facing the suffocating pressure of the people around her. It was a heart-wrenching story that touched me deeply.”
Later, when Faiz brought in Shadab, himself an award-winning director, he too connected strongly with the story. “Together, we poured our hearts and souls into it, and I am so proud of the result. Not a single frame of the film feels fake — and it’s not just me saying it, the kind of response it is receiving at festivals and from audiences around the world speaks for itself,” tells Sonia even as Shadab, Faiz and Saba are all praise for Sonia’s unforgettable acting in the movie.
“I am truly grateful to Faiz sir for trusting me with Rubi, and to Shadab sir for guiding me in bringing this complex role to life so effortlessly,” says the beautiful Sonia with gratitude.
Visibly overjoyed for her nomination as Best Actress at the prestigious Canada film festivals, Sonia terms the movie Adhura Khuaab movie as “a film that, in many ways, seems to have fulfilled my own khuaab.”
Great going Sonia! Keep scaling bigger and brighter heights in Bollywood landscape..!!
