In a recent interview with ETimes, the actor opened up about her journey in the film industry. In Pahlaj Nihalani’s Mitti Aur Sona, the actor was uncomfortable because she claimed she had to do the sequence almost naked. She said, “I didn’t want to argue. Yes, I was very uncomfortable in that scene. I was explained and given a chocolate- and then I was fine. My aunt came ahead, Pahlaj stepped in- but soon everything was fine.”

Sonam was last seen in the 1994 movie Insaniyat.
