Sonu Walia
Sonu Walia is a well-known name in the Indian entertainment industry, who was crowned Miss India in 1985 before making her mark in Bollywood. Her acting skills and charming personality won over the hearts of audiences in the late 80s and early 90s. However, over the years, Sonu Walia disappeared from the silver screen, and her fans began to wonder what she is up to now. In this blog post, we will take a look at Sonu Walia's career graph, personal life, and current activities.

Before stepping into the acting world, Sonu Walia was crowned as Miss India in 1985. She entered the world of acting with notable performances in movies including Hatim Tai, Swarg Jaisa Ghar, Apna Desh Paraye Log, and more. However, her breakthrough role came in the form of Khoon Bhari Maang (1988) where she played the lead alongside Rekha and Kabir Bedi. In 1989, she won a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the same movie. After this, she acted in several movies but could not make a significant impact in the industry.

Walia also acted on the small screen, and her role as Maharani Chitrangada in the mythological show Mahabharat was popular among audiences. She was last seen on the silver screen in the late 90s in Betal Pachisi before vanishing from the TV world too.

In real life, Sonu Walia's path crossed with Surya Prakash, an NRI in the US who was a hotelier and Indian film producer. The two tied the knot and had a beautiful marriage. However, in 2009, tragedy struck when Surya Prakash passed away.

Despite disappearing from the limelight, Sonu Walia remains active on social media. She is active on Instagram, where she posts regularly about her personal life, including her family, friends, and daily activities. Her fans can keep up with her through her Instagram handle, where she has thousands of followers.

As a blogger and fan of Sonu Walia's work, I was thrilled to receive a response from her regarding my question about what she is currently up to. In her response, Sonu shared that she is spending quality time with her family, something that she may have taken for granted in the past while she was busy working in the movies or making them.

It's always great to see celebrities taking time off from their busy schedules to focus on what's truly important in life. Sonu's dedication to her family is truly admirable and we wish her all the best in this new chapter of her life.

Sonu Walia's contributions to the Indian entertainment industry are noteworthy, and her performances are still remembered by many. While she may not be as active in showbiz as she once was, her presence on social media keeps her fans updated on her personal life. We hope to see more of her in the future and wish her all the best for her endeavors.

For 12 years 'Naina Barse Rimjhim Rimjhim' had no takers

(Author: Alex Almeida) Who Kaun Thi (1964) one of the finest thrillers during the golden era of Indian Cinema with memorable haunting music by Madan Mohan which gave evergreen songs like Lag Jaa Gale, Jo Humne Dastaan Apni Sunai,Shok Nazar Ki Bijliyaan,Tiki Riki Tiki Riki Takori and Naina Barse ... The music of the film was a big hit. Lag Ja Gale and Naina Barse became all time classics and played even today by many on their cellphones, there was a time when the haunting tune of Naina Barse had no takers for twelve years. Madan Mohan had composed the song in 1952 but no filmmaker wanted to use the tune as they were not finding a haunting situation in their film where the song would work.  'Who Kaun Thi' was made on a complete different note much ahead of her times where every five minutes there would be a haunting situation in the film. Sadhna and Raj Khosla were looking for a haunting tune for the film and came across the tune. Madan Mohan then decided to u
