Cinemaazi wishes Sonu Walia a very happy birthday

Cinemaazi wishes Sonu Walia a very happy birthday. Born Sonia Walia on 19 February, 1964, she was a Psychology graduate and student of journalism before she took up print and ramp modelling. Winning the Miss India crown in 1985, she entered the film industry. Her performance in Rakesh Roshan’s revenge saga, Khoon Bhari Maang (1988) grabbed eyeballs, as she played the model Nandini with negative shades. She won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for her performance in this Rekha-Kabir Bedi-starrer. Sonu was, however, largely typecast as a glamour element in the films she was offered, in the course of her career. She featured in films such as Akarshan (1988), Clerk (1989), Tejaa (1990), Khel (1991), Dil Aashna Hain (1992), Sahibaan (1993), Fauji (1995), Yash (1996), Kasam (2001), Suryakaant (2005), and Jai Maa Sherawaali (2008). She also made a foray into television, acting in serials Betaal Pachisi, Detective Karan, and Mahabharat Katha. She also turned producer with Jogiyaa Rocks (2016).
