Summing up her year 2023, Sonam had written in an earlier post, “The last year has been a roller coaster. Coming to accept the fact that we are parents and all the joys and fears that came with it. Understanding that I had changed drastically emotionally, physically and spiritually and that comes with pain, acceptance and eventually exhilaration. Then dealing with my Husband falling very sick which no doctor could diagnose and eventually finding out what it was and him recovering completely( it was three months of hell and thank you God and Dr Sarin) Moving talent agencies and moving out and into new homes 4 times! Starting work again while supporting my husband in his work and his exponential growth at work , while trying to spend time with my precious family and incredible friends has been the most tough, amazing, full filling and enriching year. I hope this year too comes with all the lessons and growth that come with ups and downs. I hope the world understands that war leads to nothing. Praying for all the lives lost in the unfair and horrendous war that’s happening right now, where only civilians and children are getting hurt while people in power are just sitting there behaving like monsters. On this new year I hope for peace and joy in this world and I’m filled with gratitude and humility for the life I’ve been given. Happy new year everyone. Love you all.”

Reacting to her post, Sonam’s ever-supportive husband Anand Ahuja wrote, “You are the most beautiful, kind, empathetic, caring person. You are so giving with your time, effort and energy. It’s always a journey to find your balance between prioritising yourself and your family and I know you’ll continue to discover that balance in 2024. 🩵.”

On the work fount, Sonam made her acting comeback after a maternity break with the film Blind, directed by Shome Makhija. Sonam has reportedly signed two new projects.
